Abstract:Background
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 preserved maximum to ~24 hrs with existing preservation methods.
Results
Herein, we developed two simple methods-anther preservation and spike preservation- to preserve the pollen grain viability in wheat. The methods were validated using viability and in vitro germination of pollen grains of 50 diverse spring wheat genotypes. Anthers and spikes… Show more
