✦ Synopsis

Petunia hybridu, excised-style, standard medium, pollen quality, correlation between number of protruding pollen tubes and number of seeds formed in vivo.

SUMMARY

A technique of excised-style culture was developed. In twelve compatible combinations of pollen and style, a correlation was found between the number of pollen tubes protruding from the style and the number of mature seeds formed in vivo. This suggests that the technique of improving excised-style culture is effective not only for studying the interactions between style and pollen tubes during tube growth, but also for predicting the production of seeds in vivo.
