Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect UV-B radiation had no effect on maize pollen germination.
- Intervention effect UV-B radiation did not affect total pollen protein content in maize.
- Intervention effect UV-B radiation increased UV-B absorbing pigments in maize pollen grains.
- Intervention effect UV-B radiation caused ultrastructural alterations in maize pollen and pollen tubes.
- Observation Large amounts of electron dense deposits were seen throughout the cytoplasm and in association with the pollen wall of UV-B grown maize.
- Intervention effect Under UV-B treatment, maize anthers retained numerous pollen grains while control anthers were almost empty.
