Abstract
This study was carried out to identify the effect of sucrose, calcium, and boron on the increase of pollen germination frequency in peach $(Prunus\;persica\;_{SIEB})$ under various temperature levels. The highest pollen germination was obtained at $20^{\circ}C$. Pollen germination was completed in 3.5 hrs. after planting of pollen on the basal medium which was composed of 1% agar and 10% sucrose, and conditioned pH 5.5. The optimum concentrations of sucrose and $H_3BO_3$ at $25^{\circ}C$ were 10% and $100\;mg\;{\cdot}\;L^{-1}$, respectively. However, $CaCl_2$ inhibited pollen germination in peach. Eight peach cultivars showed significantly different germinabilities at $10^{\circ}C$ on the basal medium. 'Nagasawa-Hakuho' showed the highest germinability of 26.1%, and 'Baekmijosaeng' showed the lowest germinability of 0.1%. $H_3BO_3$ strongly promoted pollen germination frequency when added to the germination medium at $10^{\circ}C$. Optimum concentration was $100\;mg\;{\cdot}\;L^{-1}$.
