    - Arabian persimmon belongs to the family of palms, palms are one of the most valuable plants of tropical countries, - says Mashkhur Akmalova, Master of the Faculty of Biology of Samarkand State University. - A pillar is made from the stems of palm trees, a shell is made from leaves, and brushes are made from fibers taken from the stems. Mainly grown as an ornamental plant. Palm species are widely used in the landscaping of offices, organizations, farming, environmental and other places. In my research, I tried to study the germination conditions and morphobiological features of the Arabian palm in laboratory conditions, using the collected data on the biological properties of palms.

    The researcher is conducting a scientific study on the topic "Morphobiological features of species of the palm family in the greenhouse of SamSU". About 10 articles on this topic have been published in national and international publications. Scientific adviser - associate professor of the Department of Botany Ilkhom Mukimov.
