Abstract

Seventy Fijian Plant species were analysed for their pollen viability. The method used was the acetocarmine staining method. This method is quite comparable with other methods like flow cytometry reactivity or in vitro germination of pollen on agar-nutrient media. Most of the species studied had a very high pollen viability percentage (>80%). Sixteen species showed below 80% pollen viability with two less than 50%. The information may be quite useful to floriculturists, agronomists and plant breeders engaged in commercial growing and cultivation of these species.
