  Re: [aroid-l] Refrigeration of aroid pollen.

Dear Julius,

I've prepared with Anita Diaz a manuscript for our favourite journal on
this subject on two Arum species. But It will take some times before we'll
receive the next Aroideana issue.

In Arum, to store pollen in refrigerators (8 or 15?C) prolong pollen
viability up to 4-5 days. May be at cooler temperatures (3-5?C) the pollen
viability will last longer. I think that water freezing will be a
(non-return) limit.
