Abstract:Wheat pollen grains have very short longevity and are non-viable after ~30 minute at room temperature and ~60 minutes at 4°C. Pollen grain viability can be prolonged to ~24 hrs with existing anther preservation methods. Herein, we developed a new and very simple method of spike preservation to prolong pollen viability up to 1 week. The present study was evaluated to determine the effect of storage temperature and duration on the viability and in vitro germination of pollen grains of 50 spring wheat genotypes f… Show more
