[Plant-education] Medium for pollen germination

[Lubos Majesky]

Hello,
I would like to ask for help in search for an appropriate medium for in 
vitro pollen germination of the members of Asteraceae family. I need 
germinated pollen grains for my study but a I cannot find a good medium 
in which the grains of Taraxacum would germinate. I know that there is a 
problem with germination of Asteraceae pollen (don´t want to germinate 
in common medium). If somebody could give me an advice or recommend a 
suitable medium I wolud be thankful.
                                                       
                                                            Lubos Majesky
