Treatments of Pollen with Different Solvents Affect the Seed Setting Rate of Rice(Oryza sativa L.)
This study aimed to investigate the effects of treatments of rice pollen with different solvents on the seed setting rate.Rice pollen was treated with ultrapure water,0.5%dimethyl sulfoxide,ethanol(1%,5%,and 8%),and 0.5%dimethyl sulfoxide+8%ethanol,and the pollen without treatment was taken as the control.Then,crossing was conducted with the treated rice plants as the male parents and plants subjected to emasculation by warm water as the female parents.The seed setting rates of the male and female parents were then recorded.The results showed that the treatments with different solvents significantly decreased the seed setting rates of both male and female parents.The treatment with 1%ethanol resulted in the highest seed setting rates for both male and female parents,while the treatment with 0.5%dimethyl sulfoxide resulted in the lowest seed setting rates for both parents.Although these solvents affected the seed setting rate of rice,they served as intermediate solvents to dissolve chemicals used in the induction of rice haploids.This study layed a technical foundation for subsequent chemical induction of rice haploids.
