GENETIC STUDIES ON DATE PALM (PHOENIX DACTYLIFERA L.) GERMPLASM GENE POOLS FROM JIGAWA, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT Date palm is cultivated in arid and semiarid regions worldwide. In Nigeria, date palm is one of the most important tree crops of great socioeconomic importance in the Sahel, Sudan and Guinea Savannah ecologies. In order to assess the genetic diversity of the crop, survey and exploration were undertaken to collect the fruits from the populations of the female tree germplasm across the gene pools of the Nigerian Institute ...
