Pollen Germination in Some Gramineae [PDF]

Nature, 1961
I. K. VASIL, in his communication under this title in Nature of September 24, p. 1135, states that “this is the first report of a successful germination of the pollen of Gramineae in vitro”. May I point out that the germination of pollen of different varieties of Saccharum officinarum was carried out as a routine practice by the Sugarcane Research ...

Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting Mediterranean shrub

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fire and drought increasingly co‐occur, exposing plants to greater drought stress during post‐fire resprouting. Yet, the effect of this combination of disturbances on plant fitness remains poorly understood. Here, we examine how post‐fire resprouting influences reproductive success under drought conditions in the Mediterranean shrub Anthyllis ...

Optimization of in vitro pollen storage conditions in seeded and low-seeded citrus genotypes

Environment Conservation Journal
An in vitro pollen storage study was conducted using pollen from three seeded citrus plant genotypes, viz., ‘Mexican lime’, ‘W’. Murcott’ and ‘Mosambi’ and five seedlesscitrus genotypes, viz., ‘Lisbon lemon’, ‘Jaffa’, ‘Clementine’, ‘Hamlin’ and ‘Mukaku ...

Factors Regulating In Vitro Germination of Date Palm Pollen Grams After Storage

Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, 2000
Dried pollen grains of three date palm (male) cultivars grown in Oman were stored either in a freezer (-18°C), a refrigerator (4 to 5°C), or at room temperature (23 to 25°C) for 6 or 12 months.

The disruption of seed dispersal networks: disentangling the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

Genomic structure and ex situ conservation of the North American grapevine Vitis labrusca

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The North American wild grapevine species Vitis labrusca is an important source of disease resistance and climate resilience traits for breeding new grapevine cultivars. To ensure its continued use in breeding, V. labrusca must be accurately identified and genetically diverse material must be conserved.

The potential effect of megafaunal extinctions on modern conservation of horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Badania biologii pyłku wytwarzanego przez kwiaty wiśni zakwitajace w różnych fazach kwitnienia [Studies of the biology of pollen formed by sour cherry flowers flowering in different stages of the blooming period]

Acta Agrobotanica, 2015
During four years (1971-1974), five sour cherry cultivars were examined for the pollen viability, germination and pollen tube growth. Pollen which was taken from the earliest and the last blooming stages had the smaller viability, germination and the ...
