• Standard methods for pollination research with Apis mellifera (2013, methodology): “Additional tests such as the use of tetrazolium dyes, X-Gal, isatin or Baker’s reagent can also be used (see Dafni and Firmage, 2000 for a review).”
• Partially hydrated pollen: taxonomic distribution, ecological and evolutionary significance (2002, neutral): “…cv. Majeur F1 ), >50% (e.g. Humulus japonicus, Ipomoea purpurea, Hedychium coccineum, Zantedeschia aethiopica) Number of cells Two: Cucurbita; three: Helianthus annuus The possibility of conserving water and thus viability depends on the natural environment of the plant (Dafni and Firmage 2000).”
• The effect of high temperature stress on male and female reproduction in plants (2015, background): “Even under the best of circumstances, pollen viability rapidly declines (minutes and hours) after dispersal and HT exacerbates the rate of this decline (Song et al., 2001; Stone et al., 1995; Pacini et al., 1997; Rodriguez-Riano and Dafni, 2000; Dafni and Firmage, 2000).”
• Pollen viability, pollen germination and pollen tube growth in the biofuel seed crop Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae). (2012, methodology): “The choice of method depends on the crop or species (Dafni and Firmage, 2000; Dafni et al., 2005).”
• The unique role of seed banking and cryobiotechnologies in plant conservation (2020, background): “This is because orthodox pollen is inherently short lived, with many species surviving just weeks to months in the refrigerator at optimum RH (Dafni & Firmage, 2000).”
