After 30 days of cryopreservation, Barbarea vulgaris pollen germination was 80.33%.
Verbatim
e0“Following 30-day cryopreservation, pollen maintained high germination rates (75.19% for Brassica rapa L., 71.18% for Brassica oleracea L., 80.33% for Barbarea vulgaris) and produced comparable silique development, seed quality, and seed germination rates to those of fresh pollen following pollination.”

- Method / resource An in vitro pollen germination system reliably assessed viability before and after cryopreservation.
- Intervention effect After 30 days of cryopreservation, Brassica rapa L. pollen germination was 75.19%.
- Intervention effect After 30 days of cryopreservation, Brassica oleracea L. pollen germination was 71.18%.
- Intervention effect Cryopreserved Brassicaceae pollen yielded silique development, seed quality and seed germination comparable to fresh pollen.
- Method / resource The optimized cryopreservation protocol uses morning collection, drying, precooling, frozen storage and tap-water thawing.
