Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of sucrose, boric acid, and calcium nitrate in optimum pH and relative humidity on pollen germination and pollen tube growth of boxthorn (Lycium chinense M.). Medium containing 100mg/L of $H_3BO_3$ showed maximum pollen germination and pollen tube elongation, 64.8% and $920{\mu}m$. Additionally supplied calcium nitrate to the medium lowered pollen germination rate and pollen tube elongation. Here we report the optimum conditions for the pollen germination and pollen tube development was observed at 10% sucrose, 1.0% agar, pH 6.0, and 100% relative humidity.
