The better way to dry anthers was 4 h in a desiccator at 25~30℃.We also found that pollen from the second to the fourth branch has the highest germination rate. Furthermore,there were no significant differences in the seed setting rates among the different storage temperatures and storage times,whereas the number of viable seeds formed per fruit differed significantly,which was 87.3% more for pollen stored at -80℃ and fresh pollen than that stored at 4℃.This work optimized pollen storage conditions and is helpful to eggplant hybrid seed production.展开更多

DCR medium was the best among 6 basal media tested; embryos from stage II seeds were the optimal developmental stage for in vitro germination; as the seeds approached maturity, germinability of embryos decrease. Embryos cultured in darkness tended to form callus and decrease the frequency of germination; inoculation method obviously affected frequency of embryo germination. Embryos cultured in optimal conditions developed into seedlings in 2 months.展开更多
