Studies on Germination of the Pollen of Tea Plant

[摘要] The most favourable condition for preservation of tea plant pollen were found to be that with lower temperatures and relative humidity of abont 60%. The pollen preserved in such conditions maintained good germinating capacity even for 31 days without showing any difference among varieties. But its fertilizing capacity was lost within a short period in the actual practice not withstanding the retained germinating power which was proved on the germination medium. By all the preservation methods tested, the pollen was reduced its fertilizing ability about to the half of that in its fresh condition, within 10 to 18 days.
