Om. Jandurova et M. Pavlik, IN-VITRO POLLEN GERMINATION OF SPECIES AND 2 INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDS FROM THE GENUS BRASSICA, Sexual plant reproduction, 8(1), 1995, pp. 33-36
In vitro pollen germination of five species and two interspecific hybr
ids from the genus Brassica was tested in four media. Genetically fixe
d differences in the demands for optimal pollen germination among spec
ies were found. The experiments were designed to define optimal conten
t of mineral salts, sugar, and PEG for every investigated species or h
ybrids. The differences found among species are discussed in relation
to the evolutionary trend.
