The pollen viability was estimated by tetrazolium chloride (TTC). The pollen was grown on 1% agar medium with (15 g sucrose + 5 ppm boric acid) and incubated at 24 \u00b1 1 temperature for 24 hours, The results showed that pollen vitality of\u00a0 (Sunburst and Lapins) cultivars was higher (63.8, 69.36 %), respectively, than pollen vitality of (Bing and Hardy giant) cultivars (50.78, 52.81 %), and as for the germination capacity,\u00a0 the Sunburst pollen surpassed and its germination rate, reaching to (59.46%), followed by (Lapins) grains\u00a0 (46.11%), while the germination percentage did not exceed (10.37 ,11.38 \u00a0%) for (Bing and Hardy giant) cultivars. The results showed as well that pollen tube length was (1427.50 \u03bcm) for Sunburst cultivar, while it did not exceed (401 \u03bcm) for (Bing) cultivar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Sweet cherry, pollen grains, vitality, germination, tetrazolium chloride, pollen tub<\/span>e.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;\">Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v91p1.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ammar Askarieh* (1), Sawsan Suleiman (2),\u00a0 and Mahasen \u00a0Tawakalna (1) (1).
