Abstract
The widest range of concentration of basalin EC was proved to be 10°.10' mg/ml which stimulated the germination of pollen of Petunia axillaris BSP., while 10-10° mg/ml was confirmed as the widest range of concentration which stimulated the tube growth. Pollen of F-24 series of pink-flowered cultivar showed the highest stimulation (142.86%) in the germination of pollen. Basalin EC produced maximum stimulation (66.67%) in the pollen tube growth of P axillaris (in F series of violet-flowered cultivar).
