Recording a new variety of date Palm in the Libyan coastal region

Abstract

Date palms are characterized by morphological and genetic variation among their varieties. The emergence of new date palm varieties results from genetic segregation during embryonic development following fertilization and subsequent seed formation. Through seed propagation, several new varieties appear annually, identified when their fruits exhibit unique characteristics that grant them high aesthetic, nutritional, and market value. This descriptive study led to the discovery of a new variety, named "Al-Raqi," in the Al-Jadida area of Al-Ajilat, located on the western coast of Libya. This discovery followed an evaluation of its vegetative, floral, fruit, and seed characteristics, as well as some of the fruit's nutritional components. It was found that the morphological and color characteristics of the fruit, particularly during the Khalal (unripe) and Rutab (ripe) stages differ from those of known local varieties, confirming its distinctiveness and originality. The discovery of this new variety represents a significant addition to Libya's heritage of date palm varieties. The necessary procedures have been initiated for its official registration and documentation with the relevant authorities.
