The invention discloses a lactuca sativa L. pollen in vitro germination culture medium and a method for measuring pollen activity. The lactuca sativa L. pollen in vitro germination culture medium uses distilled water as a solvent and comprises components of ME3 (Monnior), PEG4000 (Polyethylene Glycol) and saccharose. The method comprises the following steps: (1), collecting pollen, namely, selecting an inflorescence flowering in that day, transferring into a freshness protection package filled with clear water, and bringing back in a room; (2), preparing a pollen in vitro liquid culture medium; (3), spreading and culturing pollen, namely, horizontally placing a glass slide loaded with the liquid culture medium on an experiment platform, removing petals of a capitulum by using tweezers, stripping off a synandrium stamen and then taking an anther out, enabling the anther to slide on the surface of the culture medium to ensure that pollen is uniformly spread and distributed on the surface of the culture medium in a single layer and a pollen tube grows; (4), measuring the pollen activity, namely, after in vitro culturing, observing, and counting a pollen germination rate, wherein the pollen germination rate reflects a proportion of vital pollens. The method is rapid, simple and easy to operate, good in culturing effect, and large in practical application value; abundant vital germinating pollens are obtained, and the pollen activity is effectively measured.
