Abstract:

 The elongation of the pollen tube in flowering plants is exceedingly rapid and its requirements, in general, seem quite unimpressive, i.e., water, oxygen and a suitable osmotic milieu. Despite extensive attempts to hasten this growth process with the conventional host of growth factors, few have met with convincing suc We study the essential role of different factors (temperature, PH, Sucrose, Boric acid, Calcium) in pollen germination and pollen tube growth of heliotropiumhirsutissimum (Boraginaceae).We used basal medium (Brewbaker&Kwack, 1963) with different temperatures (25-30-35°C), PH (5-6-7-8), Sucrose (100-140-180-220) g/L, Boric acid (0-100- 200-300) mg/L, Calcium (0-300-400-500) mg/L. The best result for each factor in this study was:- Temperature: 30°C, PH: 6, Sucrose: 220 g/L, Boric acid: 100 mg/L, Calcium: 500 mg/L.

Keywords:
