Abstract
Attempts were made to store pollen grains of Crotalaria retusa L. in a mineral oil (paraffin oil) and two vegetable oils (soybean oil and olive oil). Under laboratory conditions pollen grains not stored in oil lost in vitro germinability within 15-30 days, while those stored in oils maintained some degree of germinability even after 60 days. Pollen samples stored in oils at −20° C did not show any decline in germinability or pollen tube vigour even after 6 months of storage. The results amply demonstrate the feasibility of using oils for short- and long-term pollen storage.
