Effect of Pollen Storage Duration on Stainability, Fruit Set, and Physical Traits in Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) Cultivar ‘Mejhoul’ [PDF]
PlantsAsynchronous flowering between male and female date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) makes pollen storage a practical necessity for growers, especially for cultivars like ‘Mejhoul’, which require artificial pollination. This study examined the stainability

Ploidy Levels and Pollen Stainability of Lantana camara Cultivars and Breeding Lines [PDF]
Hortscience: A Publication of the American Society for Hortcultural Science, 2014 Lantana camara L., a popular nursery and landscape plant, is categorized as an invasive species in Florida, because it produces viable pollen and cross-pollinates with the native species Lantana depressa Small. The invasive potential of L. camara

Decrease of Pollen Stainability of Green Bean at High Temperatures and Relationship to Heat Tolerance [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2001 Pod yield of `Kentucky Wonder' green bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) decreased at high temperatures due to a reduction of pod set. A highly positive correlation was observed between pod set and pollen stainability in flowers that were affected by heat stress about 10 days before anthesis ...
