Elshibli, S: Biodiversity of Date Palm

Acquiring sufficient information on genetic variation, genetic differentiation, and the ecological and genetic relationships among individuals and populations is essential for establishing guidelines on conservation and utilization of the genetic resources. The aim of this work was to assess the extent and pattern of genetic variation in date palm cultivars: genetic diversity and structure of populations occurring over a wide geographical range and variation in drought adaptive traits. The investigated cultivars and populations originated from ...
