Abstract
A study was conducted to reveal the phenology and pollen studies in Madhuca indica Gmel. The study revealed that the synchronous flowering of Madhuca indica Gmel. started during first week of March and ends towards first week of May with a peak period of flowering from last week of March to second week of April. Flower bud development took 32.55 to 34.18 days to anthesis. Microscopic studies revealed spherical pollen grains with a single germ pore. The maximum anthesis and anther dehiscence were observed between 06:30 to 07:30 a.m. and 06:00 to 07:00 a.m. respectively. The average maximum pollen viability on the day of pollen collection was found to be 94.12 and 92.33%, respectively stored at room temperature and at -100C (±2). Out of four 5, 10, 15 and 20% sucrose concentrations applied, in-vitro pollen germination was found maximum (44.82%) at 15% sucrose concentration medium after twenty four hours of observation period.
