Abstract

The date palm has some characteristics that make it difficult to study for genes location and identification. Improving productivity, fruit quality and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses is the main objective of molecular analyzes in date palm. In this paper, we examine the considerable progress in this area. Progress in date palm genomics studies was reviewed to provide a useful reference for researchers working in this area. Advances in molecular techniques will facilitate improvement programs using molecular selection.
