Viability of eggplant pollen [PDF]
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2009 This study aimed to test methodologies to evaluate the pollen viability of eggplant. The pollen germinationwas tested in vitro, incubating the pollen during 0.5 and 16 hours in different sucrose concentrations (0; 2.5; 5.0; 7.5 and10.0 g L-1). For the in
