Evaluation of the condition for storing pollen grains of japanese melon \(\textit{Cucumis melo}\) L. (Cucurbitaceae)

In recent years, studies have been carried on the selection and breeding of melon to reduce its production cost. The F1 seeds this species are usually created by parental lines. Notably, lines separated from each other secure materials. However, there no establishing suitable conditions for storing pollen grains Japanese Cucumis melo L. study, C. were dried at 38 oC temperature, 1.5 hours, which served as raw After storage in acetone 5 3, 5, 7 days, or liquid nitrogen stained with triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) evaluate their viability pollination ability. Then, following parameters including grains’ survival rate, morphology analysis grains, fruiting fruit weight, firm seed germination analyzed. study results show that rates 86.58%, 88.38%, 87.28% 88.58% group stored days respectively. fertilized rate was 100% days. But highest, 94.00% 3 best method is
