<i>In Vitro</i> Germination of Pollen Grains in Pitahaya Species

Germination Schedules of Pollen Grains: Implications for Pollen Selection.

Hygroscopic weight gain of pollen grains from Juniperus species.

Juniperus pollen is highly allergenic and is produced in large quantities across Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The pollen negatively affects human populations adjacent to the trees, and since it can be transported hundreds of kilometers by the wind, it also affects people who are far from the source. Predicting and tracking long-distance transport of pollen is difficult and complex. One para...

Germination of Barley Pollen

The artificial germination of plant pollens has met with varying success. As a whole, the pollen of the Gramineae has proved very difficult to germinate. While experiments with the pollen of many plants have resulted not only in ready germination but in satisfactory methods of preserving the pollen for considerable periods of time, the results with many of the Gramineae have been far from satis...

In Vitro Germination of Avocado Pollen

Abstract. Avocado pollen was germinated in vitro without recourse to germination on the style. The technique employed involved inclusion of pollen grains in liquid medium of 15% sucrose and minerals and application of 1 or 2 drops on 1% agar plus 15% sucrose and minerals. No germination was obtained on agar plus sucrose without placement of pollen in liquid first. Of the cultivars tested, 'Etti...
