Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the effect of different doses of the mineral elements K, Ca, S, Ca, and Mg on pollen and its germination in vitro, of six genotypes of almond.
The pollen of the six selected genotypes of almond were collected and analyzed by atomic absorption in a complete random design experiment (CRD). The results showed that the level of mineral elements in the pollen influences the pollen germination, and we observed significant differences between treatments.
The pollen of selected genotypes encoded as A-13, A-2, A-12, A6, A9 and A-15 had relatively the highest levels of Ca, K, P, Ca, Mg, and K. It was also noted that pollen with high levels of Ca, had the highest germination capacity, and a high correlation was found between them.
