Toward in vitro fertilization in Brachiaria spp. [PDF]
Brachiaria are forage grasses widely cultivated in tropical areas. In vitro pollination was applied to accessions of Brachiaria spp. by placing pollen of non-dehiscent anthers on a solid medium near isolated ovaries.

Abstract The viability of fresh pollen from 6 Rosa species (Rosa spinosissima L., R. fedtschenkoana Regel, R. pendulina L., R. arkansana Porter, R. Carolina L., R. virginiana Miller), one botanical variety (R. spinosissima altaica Rehd.) and 3 cultivars (‘Betty Bland’, ‘George Will’, ‘Prairie Princess’) were evaluated.

High temperatures associated with climate change are expected to be detrimental for aspects of plant reproduction, such as pollen viability. We hypothesized that (1) higher peak temperatures predicted with climate change would have a minimal effect on ...

Self-pollination by sliding pollen in Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae) [PDF]
Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae) forms dense populations on steep cliffs in shady, humid monsoon forests in south China. It produces few consecutively opening bright yellow flowers that are 3 cm long and oriented parallel to the ground.

090 Pollen Viability in Inland Saltgrass [PDF]
Distichlis spicata var. stricta (Torrey) Beetle is a native grass that tolerates salt, high pH, and some heavy metals. It has been proposed for use in several challenging environments, including mine spoils and salt-impacted areas of golf courses. But, its widespread use has been hindered by several factors, one of which is poor seed set.

In vitro viability and germination of Carya illinoinensis pollen under different storage conditions
Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is a crossing-pollinated nut tree with male and female flowering separated and matured at different time. This dichogamy pattern requires appropriate pollen storage strategy making hybridization successful in the pecan ...

In vitro pollen germination and pollen viability study in brinjal [PDF]
Abstract For hybrid seed production, it is prerequisite to know the floral biology of the crop and pollen biology is an integral part of flower biology of any crop to understand artificial hybridization more efficiently. After pollination, germination of the viable pollen is important for proper fertilization of ovary and to develop optimum ...
