Abstract
At specific times in their maturation, anthers from flowers of Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.) C. F. Liang et A. R. Ferguson (kiwifruit) were observed to emit clumps of pollen when vibrated over a range of frequencies at acceleration magnitudes above a certain threshold level. Shed or dried pollen did not behave in this manner, even when placed inside the same anthers. The force required to explode apart pollen grains joined by tryphine droplets was calculated, and found to agree with the experimental data.
