Abstract: | Summary Pollen of dry apple, pear, lily and rose pollen was heated up to 48 h at a range of temperatures. About half or more than half of the pollen grains survived 48 h at 40 C, 24 h at 50 C, 8 16 h at 60 C. 4 8 h at 70 C, more than one hour at 80 C. and between 10 and 20 min at 90 C. Presumably, pollen able to withstand low humidity is also heat resistant, a property which may be usable to make pollen virus free through heat treatment and perhaps to overcome incompatibility. |
