Determination Of The Viability And Production Of Pollen And Suitable Pollen Germination Medium In Some Blackberry ( Rubus Fruticosusl.) Cultivars, Nurgül Türemi̇ş, Kubi̇lay Deri̇n
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
This research was conducted in the Small Fruits Implementation Area belonging to Çukurova University Agricultural Faculty Horticultural Department during the 1999 vegetation period. Nessy, Chester Thornless, Oregon Thornless and Jumbo blackberry cvs. were used. Pollen viability levels in these cultivars were determined by using TTC and FDA staining tests. In addition, the effects of 50, 100, 200 and 400 ppm concentrations of Ca(NO 3 ) 2 , MgSO 4 , KNO 3 and H 3 BO 3 on pollen germination were investigated. Pollen viability levels varied from 79.75 % (Oregon Thornless) to 91.94 % (Chester Thornless) in TTC, and 82.17 …

This investigation was conducted to determine the pollen germination rates and the pollen production capacities of some strawberry cultivars grown in Van ecological conditions. The experiments were carried out at the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Yüzüncü Yıl in 1997-1998. The examinations of pollen germinations were done in vitro by the 'agar in plate' method (0, 10, 15, and 20 % sucrose solutions with 1 % agar). The pollen production capacities were determined by the hemacytometric method. Seven strawberry cultivars (Cruz, Tufts, Brio, Tioga, Vista, Aliso and 216), which were tested in germination experiments, gave the best …
