“…Its flowering type is concentrated flowering, with a group flowering period of 22-23 d and a single flowering period of 8 d, which can be divided into 8 stages. (2) The stigma acceptability at the petal flattening stage was the strongest, and the pollen viability at the stamen expansion stage was the highest. (3) The optimal medium for pollen viability determination was: 100.0 g/L sucrose + 0.3 g/L H3BO3 + 0.2 g/L CaCl2. (4) Pollen can be dried and stored in the short term (within 10 d), at -20 ℃ and -80 ℃ in the medium term (10-30 d), and at -80 ℃ for a long time (more than 30 d). (5) The pollen-ovule ratio of D . parviflora was 23 695.93, the out-crossing index was 3, the fruit setting rate of xenogamy was the highest. …”
