Storage conditions of soft X-ray irradiated pollen for producing seedless watermelons
Advances in Horticultural Science, 2018 A safe and efficient method for preserving viable soft X-ray-irradiated pollen for the production of seedless watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.) from diploid plants was tested by packing the pollen under vacuum, O2, CO2 or N2 gas at 25°C, 4°C or -25°C ...

The longevity of cycad pollen in storage
South African Journal of Botany, 1992 An investigation was made into the effects of temperature, headspace atmosphere and humidity on the longevity of stored pollen from several Encephalartos species and from Cycas thouarsii. Samples were assayed by in vitro germination tests and by in vivo pollination trials.
