To determine some physiological parameters implicated in somatic embryogenesis in date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), peroxidases have been studied. Activated charcoal commonly used in date palm tissue culture as an essential antibrowning factor decreased cellular protein contents and peroxidase activities. During the first months of culture, the conventionally used medium (100 mg dm-3 of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 3 g dm-3 charcoal) reduces 2 to 3 and 4 to 6 times protein contents and peroxidase activities, respectively, in comparison with the same one containing only 5 mg dm-3 of 2,4-D and with or without 150 mg dm-3 charcoal. In addition, the standard procedure decreased the embryogenic potential which is positively related to the intra- and extracellular (excreted into culture medium) peroxidase activities. In medium with embryogenic calli, extracellular peroxidase activity was three times as high as the activity determined in the same medium with non-embryogenic calli. There were two basic isoforms and four to five acidic bands characterizing the embryogenic calli. It can be suggested that peroxidases play a key role in somatic embryogenesis of date palm and the charcoal used at 3 g dm-3 constitute a perturbating factor for this process.
