Materials and Methods Pollen and spikelets were collected from plants of this perennial rye hybrid. Sizes were determined through measurements with Quartz PCI and a t-test was used to determine whether the differences were significant. Results Figure1.JPG 300X Low magnification image of pollen from hybrid 90. Grains are generally ellipsoidal inshape with a ore at one end. Pollen sample from hybrid 121.
Grains are generally ellipsoidal in shape with a pore at one end.
Some lengths are shown. Pollen grains sampled from hybrid 256. Illustrating the ellipsoidal shape common to the pollen. One of the grains shows a double pore, which was also found on another grain in this sample. Some width measurements are also shown.
