Problems solved by technology

Using this method to measure the density of pollen, first of all, it is inconvenient to operate; special instruments are required
Second, this method requires a relatively large amount of pollen, which is difficult and expensive to collect
[0004] The main purpose of density centrifugation is mainly used for the separation of substances, and there is no relevant report on the determination of pollen density

Abstract

The invention discloses an improved density gradient centrifugation method for measuring pollen density. Firstly, sucrose is dissolved in water to prepare concentration gradient solutions with different mass percentages, then the pollen to be tested is mixed into 10% sucrose solution, and injected into the bottom of the centrifuge tube. Then, 20-70% sucrose density gradient centrifugation solution was prepared by layer laying method. Centrifuge at 4000~10000rpm for 5~15min at 20°C, wait for the pollen to settle and let it stand still, take the sucrose solution of the corresponding concentration in the layer where the pollen is suspended, and draw the absorbance standard of the pollen to be tested in the sucrose solution of the corresponding concentration Curve, with this curve as a reference, using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 290nm, measure the absorbance value of the sucrose solution in the layer where the pollen is suspended, and calculate the pollen density according to the following formula: the present invention is applicable to the measurement of various pollen densities, and the results are accurate and repeatable Good performance, simple operation, easy operation, less sample required.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of plant physiology, and in particular relates to an improved density gradient centrifugation method for measuring pollen density. Background technique [0002] Pollen is a powdery substance, and the density of pollen is one of the important indicators of pollen physical characteristics. Determining the density of pollen can measure the internal quality of pollen, and the quality of pollen directly affects the quality of plant seeds. Therefore, the determination of pollen physical density can be applied to the detection of the quality of pollen for plant propagation. Determining the density of pollen can also provide a scientifically feasible method for screening pollen. [0003] A conventional method for measuring the density of a powdery substance is to put the powdery substance into a certain amount of Lees bottle containing a liquid medium, and make the liquid medium fully immerse the powdery particles. Accordi...
