Article Synopsis
- Solanaceae pollen cryopreservation helps the hybrid seed production industry overcome geographical and seasonal challenges, while monitoring pollen quality is crucial to prevent seed yield loss.
- This study evaluated various pollen quality analysis methods, including viability, germinability, and vigor assessments, on cryopreserved tomato and pepper pollen.
- The findings indicate that Impedance Flow Cytometry (IFC) is the best method for high-volume applications due to its automation and reliability, while in vitro germination tests are more suited to controlled conditions and vigor tests lack consistency.
