Abstract

The possibility of using liquid nitrogen storage conditions (−196°C) for the storage of olive ( Olea europaea) pollen was demonstrated. Pollen from 10 cultivars was rapidly frozen and thawed. Germination tests were performed on 15% sucrose, 1% agar plates. Significant differences between unfrozen control samples and frozen pollen samples were not found. However, significant cultivar by treatment interactions were observed.
