Influence of Excised Pistils on In vitro Growth of Alfalfa Pollen1

Emerson R. Shipe, Kenneth H. Quensenberry and Elmer Gray2

Reactions between pollen and pistils of ‘Buffalo’ alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) were studied in vitro. In most cases pollen tube length varied significantly when pollen from a plant was placed in combinations with pistils from different plants. Variations in pollen tube length associated with the pollen-pistil combinations were not significantly related to compatibility differences.

Key Words: Medicago sativa L. • Compatibility • Pollen tube growth
