Abstract The flowering habits,pollen germination and pollen storage of palsam pear ( Momordica charantial L. ) were investigated. Female flower opened from 2∶00a.m. through 6∶00a.m. and male flower from 2∶00 a.m. through 7∶00a.m.. The optimum conditions for pollen germination was liquid medium with 10% Sucrose and 0.01% Borie acid under 30℃ for 3 hours. Under 0℃,the pollens had been survived for 36 hours,But only 18.4% pollen germinated under 40℃ for 4 hours. More than 80% of pollens from the opened flowers (5...
