Summary

Two methods of storing pollen of the dihaploid-inducing Dutch (Wageningen) Solatum phureja clone, IVP 48, are described. Pollination results showed that the functional fertility of one type of stored pollen is similar to that of fresh pollen when used in dihaploid induction crosses on tetraploid potatoes. No obvious relationship was found between the in vitro germination of the pollen samples and their functional fertilities in dihaploid induction crosses.
