A simple and reliable method for evaluating the viability of Brassica pollen was established in which the in vitro germination rate of pollen was adopted as the index of the viability of pollen grains. Pollen grains were preincubated in an atmosphere in which the relative humidity (RH) was fixed to 52% or 66% at 20 °C for 5 hours. They were cultured for 16 hours at 25 °C in a liquid Kwack's medium (1964) supplemented with 20% sucrose, and the pH was adjusted to 8.0. They were then observed under a microscope and the number of germinating and unchanged pollen grains were counted. The germination rate of pollen was improved and stabilized by preincubation and the use of a high pH medium. More than 90% of the freshly harvested pollen grains of Brassica rapa (syn. B. campestris) germinated constantly in these conditions Undehisced anthers were collected from flowers at anthesis and dehydrated by incubation at 20 °C for 16–24 hours in an atmosphere where the RH was fixed to 15% or 32%. They were put into a plastic vial and preserved in a freezer at -20 °C. The germination percentage of the preserved pollen was scored at intervals during preservation. The germination rate of the pollen grains preserved at -20°C for 1 year was higher than 50% and the pollen proved to be efficient for seed set. Most of the seeds germinated normally.

The possibility of selecting spring rape for cold tolerance at the mature pollen grain stage was studied by investigating the effects of pollen storage at low temperatures on the quality of pollen grains and on the cold tolerance of the plants generated from them. Pollen treatments of F1 hybrids affected fertilization ability much more than viability and even after 10 days storage at 3 or 10°C the pollen germination percentage was reasonably high. Pollen storage for 7 or 10 days at 3 or 10°C significantly increased the cold tolerance of F2 seed germination, with 3°C being more effective. Pollen storage for a shorter time had no effect upon the number of resulting genotypes tolerant to low temperature. This approach may be successfully applied in plant breeding to enrich segregating plant populations with cold-tolerant genotypes.  相似文献

Investigations were carried out in 1990 and 1991 to estimate the pollen viability of five strawberry genotypes and their suitability for storage. Pollen viability was assessed by acetocarmine staining, in vitro germination, and in vivo assays. Pollen was stored in darkness at ?18°C for 1 year, and pollen viability was estimated every 4 months during storage. The highest percentage of stained and in vitro germinated pollen grains, respectively, was shown by fresh pollen of cv. ‘Dukat’ (91 and 45%). The lowest values of these characteristics were observed in pollen of cv. ‘Paula’ (48% and 20%, respectively). The best response to storage at ?18°C occurred in pollen of the breeding clone ‘B-302’ and the cv. ‘Redgauntlet’. ‘Paula’ pollen responded least favourably to this. Pollen of the cvs. ‘Dukaf’. ‘Senga Sengana’, and clone ‘B-302’ after storage for 4 months, still had sufficient capacity for fruit set after cross-pollinations.  相似文献

Summary Germination and storage trials were carried out with pollen of several rose varieties. The pollen grains germinated well in a 15% sucrose solution with 40 ppm boric acid. Staining the pollen with a 0.1% tetrazolium solution and standardizing the degree of colour at which the pollen grains are counted as viable, provided a good viability estimate, simpler to carry out than in vitro germination. Germination capacity and staining ability of the pollen were greatly impeded-about halved-by dehydration during storage in desiccators at low humidity. This effect could be corrected by humidifying the pollen beforehand for about one hour, though this pre-treatment increased the percentage of germinated pollen grains more than the percentage stained. There was no difference between the two percentages in fresh or in deep-frozen pollen.Pollen stored at 1°C and high relative humidity soon lost its germination capacity: between 0 and 20% humidity a considerable proportion of the pollen remained viable for 9 months and longer. Storage for the same period in vacuum-sealed glass tubes at –24°C maintained viability as well or better and would probably prolong it further. Some of the cold-stored pollen induced a reasonable seed set after one year, a low seed set was obtained even after two years of storage at 1°C and low humidity.  相似文献

A new method for preserving viable soft X-ray irradiated pollen for the production of seedless watermelons (Citrullus lanatus L.) from diploid plants was established by storing the pollen under N2 at −25°C for 1 year. Pollen stored at 4°C had the ability to germinate until 28 days under all atmospheres tested except O2. However, after storage at this temperature for 3 months it did not germinate in any treatment conditions. Pollen stored at −25°C for 1 year under N2, CO2 or under a vacuum had a germination rate of about 50%. Pollen stored in O2 or in air had a much lower germination rate, less than 20% and 10%, respectively. Thus, it is important to store watermelon pollen at a low temperature when it is being stored for a long time. Nitrogen and CO2 were effective in extending the life of watermelon pollen. On the other hand, it has been demonstrated that the viability of pollen was reduced by storage under O2. The N2 and CO2 are thought to be effective because they are essentially inert to the living pollen. Also, a lot of pollen tubes were observed in a middle portion of an ovary pollinated with pollen stored at −25°C under N2; however, pollen tubes were not observed in ovaries pollinated with pollen stored under a vacuum. It was revealed in 1 year storage experiments that viability of pollen stored under N2 was higher than that stored under a vacuum. Seedless fruits produced with pollen stored at −25°C under N2 had the same characteristics as the control fruit.

Viability and storage of bromeliad pollen   总被引：7，自引：1，他引：6  
Several bromeliad species from two different subfamilies, were used to develop a reliable method to evaluate pollen viability. Pollen germination on a medium containing 20% sucrose, 0.001%H3BO3 and 0.5% agar was comparable to germination on a compatible stigma. Maximum germination was reached within 2 to 10 hours depending on the species. Based on this test, six species were considered as being good pollen donors with germination percentages between 49%and 83%. Furthermore, pollen from these species and cultivars could be stored in liquid nitrogen (–196 °C) without a considerable loss of viability. For all species, a dehydration period of 4 hours prior to cryopreservation and a rehydration period of 1 hour after cryostorage were essential. Greenhouse humidity influenced anther moisture content and cryostorability. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Storage of sugarbeet pollen   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Summary To develop the technology for long-term pollen preservation, sugarbeet pollen was collected from plants grown in the greenhouse and in the field, and was stored 1 day to 1 year at 5, -18, and -196°C. Pollen containing about 12% moisture was successfully stored in liquid nitrogen (LN2) up to 1 year; this pollen effected fertilization of male-sterile flowers as well as freshly collected pollen. Germination of the resultant seed was good and not different from seed from fresh pollinations. Pollen stored at -18°C for 1 year did not result in as much seed set as fresh pollen, and 1 year at 5°C was essentially lethal. In vitro pollen germination served as a post-storage viability measure, provided the pollen was hydrated before germination. The methods tested in these experiments provided a relatively simple, reliable, and inexpensive means for preservation of sugarbeet pollen for breeding purposes and for preservation of genetic resources.Joint contribution of the Agricultural Research Service, USDA, and the Beet Sugar Development Foundation.  相似文献

Summary Pollen grains of 14 Cucumis accessions were irradiated with 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 kGy acute gamma rays and germinated in vitro directly afterwards. Pollen germination was significantly reduced by increasing irradiation dose for all species, except C. melo var. agrestis. Pollen tube growth was generally reduced likewise. Pollen of two C. anguria subspecies was most sensitive to irradiation. Sensitivity of the pollen with respect to pollen tube growth in relation to irradiation dose was inversely related to total DNA amount per nucleus. In vitro germination was not related to DNA amount per nucleus. Results show that the examined Cucumis species, especially C. melo var. agrestis, are sufficiently resistant to irradiation to be used as donor species for in vivo egg cell transformation of the cucumber.  相似文献

High temperature (HT) stress is one of the major environmental factors influencing yield of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) in the semi‐arid regions. Experiments were conducted in controlled environments to study the effects of HT stress on anatomical changes of pollen and their relationship to pollen function in soybean genotype K 03‐2897. Objectives of this study were to (a) quantify the effect of HT stress during flowering on pollen function and pod set and (b) observe the anatomical changes in pollen grains of soybean plants grown under HT stress. Plants were exposed to HT (38/28 °C) or optimum temperature (OT, 28/18 °C) for 14 days at flowering stage. HT stress significantly decreased in vitro pollen germination by 22.7 % compared to OT. Pollen from HT stress was deformed; it had a thicker exine wall and a disintegrated tapetum layer. HT stress decreased pod set percentage (35.2 %) compared to OT. This study showed that decreases in pollen in vitro germination by HT stress were caused by anatomical changes in pollen, leading to decreased pod set percentage under HT stress.  相似文献

Summary Pollen derived from cabbage, broccoli, and collards (Brassica oleracea, var. capitata, Italica and acephala, respectively) will germinate in a synthetic medium consisting of sucrose, H3BO4, CaCl2 and purified polyethylene glycol 20,000. The optimum levels of constituents varied from genotype to genotype. With one genotype of cabbage, a germination percentage of 84% and tube lengths of at least 3.5 mm long were obtained. Whereas pollen from broccoli germinated in 1 to 2 hours, cabbage pollen required a 3 to 4 hour incubation period. Optimum germination occurred at pH 5.8 and at a pollen density of 0.5–2.0 mg/ml for cabbage. The effect of flower age on pollen germination varied from genotype to genotype. Of 7 cabbage genotypes tested, pollen germination either increased, decreased or remained the same as flower age increased. Pollen germination in vitro required polyethylene glycol purified by dialysis or passage through Sephadex G-25. Cabbage stigmas release a heat-labile substance capable of inhibiting germination of self-pollen, but stigma extracts from a cross plant have no effect.  相似文献

Winter‐grown canola (Brassica napus L.) production is limited mostly by frost and winter kill in the southern canola‐growing regions of the United States. Tolerance to cold and heat were assessed by studying percentage of pollen viability (PV), in vitro pollen germination (PG) and pollen tube length (PTL) for 12 field‐grown cultivars. Freshly collected pollen from all cultivars were incubated on artificial solid growth media at a constant temperature ranging from 10 to 35 °C at 5 °C interval for 30 h to determine PG and PTL. A modified bilinear model best described the temperature response functions of PG and PTL. Canola cultivars showed significant variability (P < 0.001) for PV (61.3 % to 89.7 %), PG (29.0 % to 48.2 %) and PTL (463 to 931 μm). The average cardinal temperatures, Tmin, Topt and Tmax, for PG and PTL were 6.4, 24.3 and 33.7 °C, respectively. Principal component analysis revealed that maximum PG, PTL, Tmin and Topt of both PG and PTL were the most important factors in determining cold tolerance, whereas Tmax of PG and PTL, and maximum PG and PTL were more responsible in separating the cultivars for heat tolerance. The canola cultivar, KS3077, was the most cold tolerant with the lowest Tmin and the widest temperature adaptability range, and the cultivar Kadore was the most heat tolerant with the highest Tmax for the PG. The identified cold‐ and heat‐tolerant cultivars may be useful in canola‐breeding programmes to develop cultivars suitable for a niche environment.  相似文献

The reproductive stage of flowering plants is sensitive to high-temperature stresses. High temperature is a major factor influencing pollen grain viability in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). The objective of this study was to identify the relationship between cotton pollen germination percentage and temperature by assaying the pollen germination of four upland cotton cultivars in vitro at different temperatures during the blooming period. The results showed that in vitro pollen germination percentage was related to the culture temperature of pollen germination and the temperature of the square development process. High temperature affected pollen development and germination, and high-temperature tolerance differed among the cotton cultivars. The pollen germination percentage decreased rapidly with changes in the culture temperature from 30 to 39 °C. A culture temperature of 35 °C might be a critical temperature for the pollen viability transition and could be used to screen cotton cultivars that have pollen grains with high-temperature resistance. Before the high-temperature stage, cultivars with rates of decrease in the percentage of pollen germination of less than 41 % at 35 °C relative to the rates at 30 °C might be considered as high-temperature tolerance cultivars, and cultivars with rates of decrease in the percentage of pollen germination greater than 41 % might be considered as susceptible cultivars. The high-temperature stress for pollen grain germination in vitro was greater than 30 °C, and the high-temperature stress for square development might be greater than 33 °C. Boll retention was significant; it was positively correlated with the pollen germination percentage and negatively correlated with temperature during the high-temperature stage. This study provided a method for rapidly screening cultivars (lines) with high-temperature tolerance pollen in upland cotton breeding.  相似文献

Pollen of garden varieties and species of Delphinium that was cryopreserved at –30 °C after 3 hours of air drying and storage on silica gel, had high germination and pollen tube growth in vitroeven after 180-day storage. On the other hand, pollen stored at 25 °C showed a marked decrease in the germination rate within 10 days. The best in vitro germination of Delphinium pollen was on a 1% water agar containing 15% sucrose and 0.005 to 0.01% boric acid and at 15 to 20 °C. Field pollination with the cryopreserved pollen showed higher fruit and seed set than pollination with pollen stored at 25 °C, and was not significantly different from fresh pollen.

The effects of drying and freezing on viability of pearl millet pollen were examined with the aim of using stored pollen in polyhaploid production of hexaploid wheat. Freshly collected pollen of pearl millet line NEC 7006 with 55% water content, germinated at a frequency of 80%. Pollen that was dried for two hours to 6% water content showed 50% germination frequency and maintained similar frequencies after the freezing process. In crosses of hexaploid wheat variety Norin 61 with fresh pearl millet pollen, embryos were obtained at a frequency of 27.6%. In crosses with pollen stored at -196 °C, -80 °C and -20 °C for one month, embryo formation frequencies ranged from 27.5 to 17.4%. After five and twelve months of storage, the frequencies ranged from 29.7 to 14.6% at storage temperatures of -196 °C and -80 °C, and from 8.0 to 3.2% at -20 °C, indicating significant differences among storage temperatures. However, no significant frequency difference was found among pollen water contents at the time of collection. All plants regenerated from crosses with pearl millet pollen stored for five months were wheat polyhaploids. These results suggest that stored pearl millet pollen is an efficient medium for producing polyhaploids in hexaploid wheat.

Storage of avocado pollen   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  
Margaret Sedgley 《Euphytica》1981,30(3):595-599
Summary Avocado pollen was stored at a range of temperatures and relative humidities (RH) for up to one year and the pollen was tested for viability in vivo.Pollen stored for one month was capable of germination on the stigma and penetrating the ovule when stored at 4°C with <1,23,55 and 75% r.h. and at -196°C with 0% r.h. Most pollen samples stored at 25 and -15°C at a range of r.h. would germinate on the stigma but none would penetrate the ovule.After one year of storage, pollen at 4°C and <1 and 23% r.h. would germinate on the stigma but would not penetrate the ovule. There was no germination of pollen stored at 4°C and 55 and 75% r.h. Only pollen stored at -196°C and 0% r.h. would penetrate the ovule, but thawing and refreezing once during the year destroyed the viability.  相似文献

Summary Pollen grains of diploid and tetraploid Italian, perennial and hybrid ryegrass (Lolium spp.) germinated on 20% sucrose solution with 10 ppm each of CaCl2, H3BO3 and EDTA. Pollen tubes emerged within 2–3 minutes after sowing and completed full growth within 1 1/2 hours. The tube elongation showed the expected linear growth rate. The tubes of the haploid pollen grains grew faster (3.9 m/minute) than that of the diploid (3.3 m/minute). Diploid pollen grains germinated better on 25% than on 20% sucrose solution. Up to 25% of the diploid pollen produced two tubes.  相似文献

Optimum in vitro germination of pollen grain of the avocado cultivars Fuerte, Nabal, Ettinger, Bacon and Zutano occurred at 25 °C. However, there were significant differences between cultivars in percentage germination and relative humidity (RH) requirements for optimum pollen grain growth. The most sensitive cultivar to relative humidity was Fuerte, in which the germination of pollen grain rose from 11.4%, at 40% RH, to about 50%, after one hour at 100% RH. The germination% of Nabal pollen grain was already high at 40% RH and was not increased by higher relative humidity. Increased relative humidity also helped to sustain the viability of avocado pollen. At 30 °C and 5% RH the pollen grains of Fuerte quickly lost its ability to germinate, at 40% RH for 1 hour, germination was reduced spectacularly compared to pollen kept in saturated with moisture environment where it was not affected the first 24 hours. The effects of temperature and relative humidity on fruit-set and yield of avocado are discussed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献
