Vitality and storage condition ofSyringa pollen

Abstract

The fresh pollen vitality, the effect of different storage conditions on the pollen vitality, and the difference of vitality among the species of seven species ofSyringa were determined in Shenyang, China. The results indicated that the pollen vitality (81.5%) ofSyringa villosa was the highest among the seven tested species, followed byS. microphylla andS. meyeri, and that ofS. oblata var.affinis was the lowest. The low temperature was the best condition for storage of pollen ofSyringa, and the most proper temperature for the storage was 0–2°C. The storability ofS. microphylla was the best of all, and it could be stored over 60 days at the temperature of 0–2°C, next wasS. villosa andS. meyeri.
