MAINTENANCE OF POLLEN GERMINATION CAPACITY OF VITIS VINIFERA L. (VITACEAE)
Abstract
Pollen germination of Vitis vinifera L., of the family Vitaceae was examined in fresh and stored pollen upto 48 weeks at different temperature i.e., refrigerator (+4C), freezer (-20C, -30C) and freeze drier (-60C). Pollen stored at low temperature showed better germination percentage as compared to pollen stored at +4C and fresh. Freeze dried pollen (-60C) showed the highest germination percentage. Whereas lowering the storage temperature and moisture contents tends to increase the viability.
