Abstract
Observation by fluorescence of tomato pollen tubes in fixed styles clearly showed that all pollen samples grew regardless of age and fruit or seed setting potential. Methods commonly used to evaluate pollen viability, such as staining and germination, may predict growth in the style but do not always predict seed setting ability.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
