| Abstract Studies of the production and viability of pollen are very important in breeding programs and for assessing the climatic adaptation of fruit species. The objective of this work was to determine the pollen production per anther and its viability from in vitro germination tests of 16 peach cultivars. The analyses were carried out at the Horticulture Laboratory with vegetable matter from the peach trees in the fruit sector of the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Dois Vizinhos, Paraná State, Brazil. The cultivars used in the research were: Bonão, BR-1, Charme, Chimarrita, Coral, Douradão, Eldorado, Fascínio, Granada, Kampai, Leonense, Marli, Regalo, Riograndense, Rubimel, and Zilli. Pollen production was obtained by counting in a Neubauer... |
