A method of micropropagation through somatic embryogenesis in date palm was developed. This method involved development of embryogenic callus from shoot tips as well as primordial leaves. These explants were incubated on a callus induction medium for a period of seven months, during which the cultures were subcultured on fresh medium with same composition at an interval of four weeks for induction and multiplication of embryogenic callus. The resulting embryogenic callus (Fig. 1a) was subjected to a somatic embryo induction medium for a period of four months, with subcultures on fresh medium with same composition at an interval of four weeks for the formation as well as maturation of somatic embryos. The resulting matured somatic embryos (Fig. 1b) were germinated on a germination medium for plant formation (Fig. 1c and 1d). Similar procedures have been reported by other researchers (Sharma et al., 1984; Dass et al., 1989; Eke et al.,2005).
