The factors involved the pollen maturity, the pollen resistance to dehydration, the components of vitrification solution(PVS), and the concentration of diluent. Thus, a suitable procedure was established for pollen vitrification, the maximum relative survival rates of mature (at the day of anthesis)and nearly mature(3 days before anthesis)pollen were about 80%, 63% respectively. This procedure has been also successfully applied to two other species ( Brassica napus, Brassica chinensis ). The advantage of cryopreservation of pollen by vitrification was discussed.展开更多
