Abstract
Cycloheximide (CH) inhibited the division of generative cell in pollen cultures of Impatiens balsamina in concentrations of 1–200 μg/ml without affecting pollen germination or pollen tube growth. This inhibition was reversible up to 3 h in hanging drop cultures and up to 6 h in test tube cultures by replacement of the medium with a CH-free one.Keywords
