| Abstract: | A simple method to cultivate pollen tubes in a gelatin medium is presented. After the growth of the pollen tubes in the culture medium, they are fixed, dehydrated, and embedded in resin for ultramicrotomy. The method is easy and does not require the purchase of special materials beyond those needed for the usual techniques for studying biological specimens under transmission electron microscopy. |
