Pollen from Diospyros philippensis (Desr.) Gürke germinated within 0.5 hours in 10% and 15% sucrose solutions. In 10% sucrose treatment, the germination rate reached 84.0% after 2 hours of incubation. The pollen tube elongation rate peaked at 760μm·hr⁻¹in the 5% sucrose treatment after 2 hours. Based on this rate, the minimum estimated time required for a pollen to reach the base of stigma following pollination was approximately 13.2 hours. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that pollen tubes were able to reach the ovule within one day. These results indicated that the optimal pollination period occurs on the day of flowering and the following day . D. philippensis exhibits no sexual reproduction barriers and benefits from pre-bloom pollinator activity. For controlled pollination in breeding programs, bagging should commence 3 days before female flower opening. During bagging, apply appropriate insecticides and fungicides to prevent contamination. Artificial pollination should be conducted after flowering. To produce seedless fruit, flowers should be bagged three days before blooming and maintained in the bags until fruit set. Alternatively, seedless fruit production may be achieved by removing the stigma three days before flowering or by applying fungicides, acidic solution (pH≤3.6), or other substances that directly to the stigma. |
