most sweet cherry cultivars are as found as self-incompatible and therefore for commercial fruit production, compatible pollinizers are needed. controlled pollination and microscopic examination of pollen tube growth in the style are two classical methods for determination of compatible and incompatible pollen donor cultivars. this experiment was carried out to explore the compatibility of ‘zar...

sweet cherry (prunus avium l.) is considered as one of the most important temperate zone fruits worldwide. it is an economical fruit with high demand because of its early ripening fruits that enter the market early in the season. most sweet cherry cultivars are self-incompatible, not able to produce commercial fruit without being pollinated with a compatible pollinizer. in the present study, fl...

Ploidy level is one of important factors for plant breeders; therefore models that can predict it are very practical. To estimate of ploidy levels in some species, hybrids and cultivars of Rosa, dimensions of over 500 pollens include pollen length, width and area measured at ABRII. The calculations were carried out in several stages. First, Ploidy levels were regressed with pollen dimensions, a...

the importance of amaranthus retroflexus pollen in causing respiratory allergy has been well ascertained in many countries including iran with a high positive rate (69%) among iranian allergic patients. the aim of the present study is to identify the allergenic properties of a. retroflexus pollen. sixteen patients with allergy to a. retroflexus pollen were selected for the study. the antigenic ...

Pollen respiratory allergies have been increasing in prevalence over the last two decades, partly as the result of the impact of climate change. For many allergenic trees, grass and weed species, increased pollen production and prolonged pollination period result in long-term increased abundance of pollen allergens in the atmosphere; earlier shifts of airborne pollen grains and prolonged exposu...

Self-incompatibility has been studied by using controlled pollination, pollen tube growth and PCR methods in the Iranian almond ‘Mamaei.’. Pollen tube growth and fruit set following self and cross-pollination treatments were evaluated. The percentage of initial and final fruit set was determined for each treatment at 30 and 60 days after controlled pollination. Pollen germination and pollen ...
