Abstract
Date palm, Phoenix dactylifera L., a monocotyledonous angiosperm diploid species belonging to the Arecaceae (Palmae) family, is considered as one of the world’s first cultivated fruit trees. Along with the olive and the fig, the three represent an ancient group of fruit trees closely associated with the beginnings of agriculture and the sustenance of humankind in the arid regions of the Old World.
