Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of plant growth regulators on pollen germination and pollen tube lengths in 'October Sun' plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) and 'Marguerite de Marillat' and 'Williams' pear (Pyrus communis L.) varieties. Flower samples were collected from the experimental orchards of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University during the early spring season. Germination experiments were carried out under in vitro conditions using different sucrose concentrations and growth regulators including EBR, GA₃, BAP, and IBA. The results showed that germination rates and pollen tube lengths varied depending on cultivar and treatment. The highest germination rates were observed at specific concentrations of growth regulators, indicating their significant effects on pollen performance. These findings contribute to understanding pollen physiology in plum and pear and may support future breeding and fertilization studies.
