Sensitivity to ozone of pollen germinating in vitro is closely correlated with ozone sensitivity of the pollen parent. Ozone-sensitive and tolerant pollen populations have been identified in tobacco, petunia, and tomato cultivars. The rate of tube elongation can be reversibly slowed or stopped by exposure to low concentrations of ozone. Tube growth rates in the presence of a range of ozone dosages, of pollen populations exhibiting differing ozone sensitivity can be measured and different growth rates can be correlated with ozone dosages. The performance of selected pollen populations can then be used to bioassay ozone in ambient air by introducing the air sample into a growth chamber where ozone-sensitive pollen in growing. Petunia and tobacco pollen are especially useful because they store well at ordinary freezer temperatures and do not require special preparation prior to storage. Modified Brewbacker's growth medium is suitable for growth of both these pollen types. Four useful cultivars are Bel W-3, ozone-sensitive and Bel B, ozone-tolerant tobacco, and White Bountiful, ozone-sensitive and Blue Lagoon, ozone-tolerant petunia. Observations can be made directly by using a TV scanner, or by time lapse or interval photography. Year-round pollen production can be achieved in the greenhouse. Harvested pollen can be tested, packaged, and transported to user facilities without loss of vigor. Pollen populations are inexpensive to produce, respond reliably, and are simple to use as a bioassay for air quality.ImagesFIGURE 2.FIGURE 3.FIGURE 4.

Sensitivity to ozone of pollen germinating in vitro is closely correlated with ozone sensitivity of the pollen parent. Ozone In a previous paper (1) this author alluded to the fact that pollen populations differed in ozone sensitivity and that these differences were closely related to the ozone sensitivity of the pollen parent (source) (2, 3). S02 (4,5) and fluorides (6-9) also cause a reduction in germination and tube elongation indicating that pollen behavior in vitro can be modified or influenced by several gases generally considered to be environmental pollutants.Species and cultivar differences in ozone sensitivity have been well documented and are now often considered when evaluating the horticultural worth of plant materials (10). Differences in cultivar tolerance to ozone injury have been noted in alfalfa (11), eastern white pine (12), other coniferous species (13), beans (14, 15) is only a partial list of those plant species showing differences in cultivar sensitivity to ozone, but it is broad enough to demonstrate that the condition is widespread. It also suggests the possibility of using this diversity as expressed through the pollen populations, to devise a system for measuring air quality by observing pollen performance in vitro. This paper attempts to illustrate how that might to done for the gaseous photochemical pollutant ozone(O3).
