Germination of Lily Pollen: Respiration and Tube Growth
Abstract
Germinating pollen of Lilium longiflorum (cv. Ace) briefly exhibited a high rate of respiration before pollen tubes began to grow. A second period of high respiration occurred while tubes were growing. Between these periods respiration proceeded at a lower rate. Respiration was stimulated by 2,4-dinitrophenol to occur at approximately the same rate in all three periods.
