“…Similar dimensions of pollen grains were found by other authors in apple and pear. The length of the pollen grain in apple ranged from 40.1 µm to 43.8 µm and width from 20.9 µm to 23.2 µm (Currie et al, 1997). In Japanese pear the length varied from 43.40 µm to 45.08 µm and the width from 21.80 µm to 22.95 µm (Matsuta et al, 1982).…”

Morphological characterization of pollen grains is very important in the identification of individual species and cultivars of fruit trees, including quince. As material for these studies, the pollen of eight quince cultivars, Leskovacka, Vranjska, Morava, Pazardzijska, Hemus, Asenica, Portugal, and Triumph was used. During the 3-year study period (2010)(2011)(2012), using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the following characteristics were investigated: the size and shape of pollen grains (length, width, and length-towidth ratio), colpus length, colpus width, mesocolpium width, and characteristics of exine pattern [number of ridges per area (100 µm 2 ) at the equatorial region of exine, ridge width, and furrow width]. The tested quince cultivars differed significantly in terms of morphological characteristics of pollen. The exceptions were colpus and mesocolpium width, as well as the ridge and furrow width on the exine, which showed no statistically significant difference. Pollen grains of quince are characterized by great length (over 53 µm). The shape of pollen grains varied from prolate (Leskovacka, Vranjska, Morava, Hemus, Asenica, and Triumph) to perprolate (Pazardzijska and Portugal). The exine pattern of all cultivars was striate with longitudinal ridges, which were more parallel in cultivars Vranjska, Hemus, Portugal, and Triumph and less parallel in cultivars Leskovacka, Morava, Pazardzijska, and Asenica. Three groups of similar cultivars are separated on the basis of hierarchical cluster analysis results. Some pollen morphological characteristics, such as the size and shape of pollen grains and colpus length, can be used in the identification of quince cultivars.

“…Pollen ultrastructure has been used to distinguish cultivars of apple (Currie et al, 1997;Martens and Fretz, 1980;Marcucci et al, 1984), pear (Westwood and Challice, 1978). The complex of morphological characteristics allows to determine the differences (or similarities) between close species or breeds, morphological heterogeneity, especially the variability of their sizes due to hybridization, polymorphism (Куприянова и Алешина, 1978;Palinological Database;Tzarenko, 2012 Thus, the study of the morphology of pollen grains -the size, shape, structure of exine, the number of holes and locations, in our opinion, is quite relevant.…”

Features of pollen grains, sculpture 2 species Rosaceae Juss. (Malus domestica Borkh and Pyrus communis L.) has been studied in detail using scanning electron microscopy method. The pollen material is picked up in Slovak Republic, was used in the study. Shape of the pollen grains is oblong-ellipsoidal. In terms of poles, the grain is round. The pollen grains Malus domestica and Pyrus communis has -3 colossus, the hole is long. A complex type of exine is characteristic of the studied species of Rosaceae. The average size of the poles axis of pollen grains is Malus domestica trees is in the range of 27.91-36.62 μm, the equatorial diameter is in the range of 13.28-17.17 μm. The average size of the pole axis of pollen poles of Pyrus communis trees is 38.83-56.83 μm, the equatorial diameter is 20.26-29.92 μm. The ratio of the pole axis to the equatorial (P/E) is the degree of elongation of the pollen grains (roundness).The pollen of Malus domestica breeds is more elongate compared with the pollen of Pyrus communis. Pollen of Malus domestica rocks are more elongated compared with the pollen of Pyrus communis (Р/Е is 14% more). The traits analysed could be useful for plant breeders or for gene bank curators at the first steps of identification of cultivars, since the analysis is simpler and less expensive than other methods.
