Abstract:
Two genotypes of cucumbers( JL4 and CC3) were used to study for short time storage of anthers under eight designed conditions at room temperature( 25-27 e ) and 4 e, respecitively. The resultsshowed that the anther opened well at toom temperature, and treatments 2 and 8 were much better than the other treat- ments. The conditions good for pollen shedding were also good for germinating. Multiple comparison analysis a- mong germination rates of treatments 2, 8 and control showed no significant difference between treatment 2 and control, but both treatment 2 and control were significantly higher than treatment 8. Anthers that irradiated in the morning one day before anthesis were used to test the best storage method and the results proved that the treatment 2 was good for short time storage of irradiated cucumber anthers.
