Type of article: Article

Summary

FIVE VARIETIES OF CORN WERE USED AS POLLEN DONORS AND THEIR WATER CONTENTS WERE REDUCED TO 20% BEFORE STORAGE IN LIQUID NITROGEN AT 78 K (-196 DEG C). DURING SUMMER FRESH POLLEN CONTAINING MORE THAN 50 TO 60% WATER CONTENT CANNOT BESTORED IN NITROGEN BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF WATER AFFECTS KEEPING QUALITY. REDUCING THE WATER CONTENT TO 20.7% LOWERS THE GERMINATING RATE IN VITRO FROM 13.9 TO 5.9%. WITH A 35.2% WATER CONTENT THE POLLEN GERMINATING RATE IN VITRO IS73%.
