Quantitative and qualitative analysis of sunflower pollen (Helianthus L.) and it’s use in breeding work

open access: yesТруды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции, 2019
Background. In breeding work, it is necessary to take into account such an important feature as male sterility of the hybrids obtained. If a plant has visually visible anthers and pollen, the quality of the pollen grains themselves may be low.
