“…Cytomixis on meiotic behavior also affects the viability of pollen as observed in wild Himalayan poppy (Meconopsis aculeata Royle) (42). The current study revealed that V. umbellata pollen has a tricolporate pollen -having three distinct pores, which is common to all members of Papilionoideae (43)(44)(45).…”

Pollen viability, germination and compatibility are essential in determining the success of pollination and seed setting of high-valued crops. Rice bean (Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi & Ohashi) is an underutilized and unexplored indigenous legume with high potential for commercial production. In this study, pollen quality, viability, germination rate and incompatibility among selected six rice bean (V. umbellata) accessions from Barili, Cebu, Philippines were evaluated to determine the barriers and effective pollination habit for increased productivity while retaining the important traits, including high tolerance in poor soils, superior climatic resilience and resistance to pest and diseases. Results of acetocarmine calorimetric assay showed that rice beans’ (V. umbellata) pollens are highly viable, with accessions VU 004 (56.33 ± 4.91%) and VU 007 (54.34 ± 4.53%) having the optimum viability rate. Brewbaker and Kwack medium treated with 0.2 g.l-1 and 0.3 g.l-1 boric acid (H3BO4) enhanced the germination rate in vitro (11.56 ± 5.53% and 9.47 ± 6.50% respectively). Bud (14.96 ± 1.53%) and post-anthesis pollens (10.28 ± 0.94%) have optimum germination rate in 0.2 g.l-1 boric acid media, while anthesis pollens are suitable in media supplemented with sucrose and boric acid alone (12.20 ± 1.50%) and with 0.1 g.l-1 myo-inositol supplementation (8.49 ± 1.86%). Pollination test revealed that rice bean accessions have high self-compatibility (50.76 + 3.45%) and low cross-compatibility (26.57 + 2.49%). The findings provide an important background in understanding the pollen quality and intraspecific interaction among indigenous rice bean (V. umbellata) accessions in Barili, Cebu to improve production and hybridization.

“…Stigma receptivity plays an important role in successful hybridization. For fertilization to occur, the pollen grains must be in a viable state, and the stigma must be in a receptive condition (Zulkarnain et al, 2019).…”

Viability of pollen grains and stigma receptivity in Desert Rose

et al. 2022

Adenium obesum (Forssk.) Roem. & Schult., popularly known as desert rose, has become a valuable ornamental plant. In floriculture, the production of hybrids is prioritized. Hence, knowledge on floral biology and sexual reproduction of the target species is fundamental. The objectives of this study were: (1) to test sucrose concentrations and temperatures for in vitro germination of A. obesum pollen grains; (2) to identify the effect of temperature on the viability of A. obesum pollen grains; and (3) to evaluate the viability of pollen grains and stigma receptivity in pre-anthesis, at flower opening, and 72 h post-flower opening in three accessions of A. obesum. A significant relationship between temperatures and sucrose concentrations was observed in the in vitro germination test. The highest percentage of in vitro germination of pollen grains, 39.81%, was observed at an estimated temperature of 26.05 °C. Desert rose accessions maintained in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) chambers at 30 °C during a 16-h light photoperiod showed faster flowering, and temperatures ≥ 25 °C induced pollen grain viability percentages above 69%. Temperature is one of the most important abiotic factors, influencing mainly in pollen germination, pollen tube growing and in efficiency fertilization. The ICA-wd accession stood out and can be considered a pollen donor in artificial pollination. The stigmas of flowers were receptive from a day before flower opening until three days after. The two parameters presented above, stigma receptivity and pollen viability, allow inferences about the appropriate time for successful pollination and subsequent fertilization in desert roses.

“…Pollen viability and stigma receptivity are two main factors which are crucial in determining the efficiency of reproductive organs to carry out successful pollination which then leads to fertilization and zygote formation (47). The duration and peak period of stigma receptivity as evidenced by peroxidase test, esterase test and in vivo pollen germination is crucial in determining the reproductive success of a plant species (48).…”

Gynostemium morphology and floral biology of Thottea duchartrei Sivar., A.Babu & Balach. (Aristolochiaceae), an endemic species from Western Ghats, India

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Gynostemium is a putative floral structure formed by the fusion of the male and female reproductive parts (stamens and carpels) through a process during its development called synorganization. Most of the Indian species of Thottea Rottb. have a prominent gynostemium in their floral architecture, with varying degrees of adnation and complexity. Even though the gynostemium is a significant taxonomic marker for the inter-specific systematics in Thottea, the scepticism and arguments on deciphering its morphology and functional parameters, including the existence of staminodes, makes it imperative to be examined in detail. The present study is the first attempt in this line which aims to explore the morphological characters of gynostemium and reproductive biology of Thottea duchartrei Sivar., A.Babu and Balach., an endemic species in the Western Ghats. Stereo zoom microscopy, SEM and reproductive biological studies were conducted providing special emphasis to the gynostemium. Detailed analysis revealed the structural and functional diversity of gynostemium with regard to its components. The study also helped to recognize the columnar outgrowths on the gynostemium as staminodes. In total, the present study helps to solve the confusions regarding the functional identity of the gynostemium T. duchartrei with regard to its morphology.
