Abstract

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) belongs to Arecaceae family and considered as the oldest domesticated plant on the globe. Genetically, date palm is strict dioecious evergreen tree which is being cultivated in arid and semi arid regions of the world as an important fruit tree, for providing staple food across the world. Nutritionally, the fruits of date palm are rich sources of vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates which also posses medicinal values. On the other hand, date palm is capable of surviving for longer periods even at extremely adverse environmental conditions with prolonged life span, which admires about its complex genetic makeup. In this context, date palm has tremendous scope to conduct the fundamental and scientific research for bio- prospecting of the stress tolerant genes, understanding the tolerance mechanism and their interactions with natural ecosystem. Furthermore, the developed genomic resources and biotechnological interventions so far in date palm could be useful to enhanced utilization of date palm germplasm for further crop improvement programme. However, to conduct a high through put research on improvement of date palm, it still needs more emphasis on genomic and biotechnological interventions for crop improvement. Therefore, a comprehensive report has been made to collect the information available on genomic and biotechnology in date palm carried out so far and their futuristic approach for improvement in date palm cultivation
