“…However, in the last two decades, the area under date palm cultivation has almost doubled with the new non-traditional area under its cultivation which includes states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, etc. which further enhances the importance of the crop (Baidiyavadra et al, 2019;Muralidharan et al, 2008). After the multi-location trial under AICRP-Arid Zone fruits, two varieties (Barhee and Halawy) were recommended for commercial cultivation, among them Barhee is now a popular variety in Gujarat (Sharma et al, 2019).…”

“…The observations presented here may have significant practical implications. The date palm industry in Pakistan and India suffers from heavy summer monsoons occurring just before fruit ripening (Adel et al, 2015;Baidiyavadra et al, 2019). In northern Africa, early autumn rains and suboptimal temperature often overlap with the date ripening season (Musa, 2001;Awad, 2007;Lobo et al, 2014;Al-Khayri et al, 2015).…”

The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) fruit is of major importance for the nutrition of broad populations in the world’s desert strip; yet it is sorely understudied. Understanding the mechanism regulating date fruit development and ripening is essential to customise date crop to the climatic change, which elaborates yield losses due to often too early occurring wet season. This study aimed to uncover the mechanism regulating date fruit ripening. To that end, we followed the natural process of date fruit development and the effects of exogenous hormone application on fruit ripening in the elite cultivar ‘Medjool’. The results of the current study indicate that the onset of fruit ripening occurre once the seed had reached maximum dry weight. From this point, fruit pericarp endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) levels consistently increased until fruit harvest. The final stage in fruit ripening, the yellow-to-brown transition, was preceded by an arrest of xylem-mediated water transport into the fruit. Exogenous ABA application enhanced fruit ripening when applied just before the green-to-yellow fruit color transition. Repeated ABA applications hastened various fruit ripening processes, resulting in earlier fruit harvest. The data presented supports a pivotal role for ABA in the regulation of date fruit ripening.

“…University graduates (Bachelor) do not want to work as normal workers in laboratories. In addition, prices for inputs are increasing; in particular, the chemicals needed to produce the media and growth hormones, equipment cost, and energy sources remain a challenge (Baidiyavadra et al, 2019;Abebaw et al, 2021;Broek & Rensink, 2021).…”

Plant tissue culture (PTC) is the cultivation of any part of a plant in nutritionally defined media under an aseptic and controlled environment, regardless of season and weather. The application of PTC leads to the mass propagation of varietal, high-quality seedlings of ornamental plants, medicinal plants, plantation crops, fruit trees, and forest trees. PTC technology, on the other hand, is more expensive in developing nations, such as Ethiopia, than traditional propagation methods such as seeds, cuttings, grafting, and so on. As a result, it is critical to take steps to cut production costs and explore alternate choices for present PTC obstacles (budget restrictions, procedural and operational matters, and unfortunate interactions and partnerships). In order to lower the unit cost of crop production, cost-effective procedures and the optimal utilization of equipment are required. This can be accomplished by increasing the efficiency of processes and optimizing resource allocation. Gelling agents, macro and micronutrients, equipment, carbon sources, and the utilization of bioreactors, which can minimize space, energy, and labor needs, can all be replaced to lower production costs. Therefore, these alternative options are recommended as a workaround to the problems and are briefly described in this document.
