Description
Summary:The  widest  range of  concentration of   basalin   EC  was   proved to   be  10°.10' mg/ml  which  stimulated the germination  of  pollen  of  Petunia axillaris  BSP.,  while  10-10°  mg/ml was  confirmed  as  the  widest  range  of concentration  which  stimulated  the  tube   growth.  Pollen  of F-24  series   of  pink-flowered cultivar  showed  the highest  stimulation   (142.86%)  in  the   germination  of  pollen.   Basalin   EC   produced  maximum  stimulation (66.67%)   in  the  pollen  tube  growth of  P  axillaris (in  F series of  violet-flowered cultivar).
