Observation Variable Method Details

Observation Variable Method Basic Information

Phenotyping of plant and plant organ characteristics by fluorescence microscopy 1
The aniline blue stain was used to identify and evaluate pollen grains by visualization with a Nikon Eclipse E600 microscope. The images from the microscope were analyzed with Image J software1 to calculate the pollen number (AB) (number of grains in 200 μM)
