Abstract
Using pollen of Milla biflora and Tropaeolum majus, 33 pure growth-promoting substances were tested for their effects on germination of pollen and pollen tube growth. 16 produced significant increases in one or both processes. Active substances included vitamins, plant hormones, pyrimidines and purines.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
