Abstract
Pollcn grains of the seven ber cutivars were almost similar in their morphology. The fresh pollens appeared as a fine, yellowish powdery mass and were very stick)'. They were isopolar, fixiform, radio symmetric and 3-zonicol porate, with psi late exine. On acetolysis, shape was prolate spheroidal, and in distilled water, roundish and triangular. Pollens were round in acetocarmine and ellipsoidal in castor oil. When moistened, pollen size was increased. Pollen fertility ranged from 68.08% (Seedless) to 87.34% (Darakhi No.1). Pollen germination as well as tube length was highest in 25% sucrose solution.Downloads
