Abstract Effects of fresh male flower and flower buds storage temperature on cucumber pollen viability were studied.The results indicated that pollen survived longer in lower temperature,pollen viability in 5,10 and 15 ℃ were 60,44 and 34 h longer than that in 25 ℃ respectively;collecting male flower buds late in the afternoon(about 18:00)is better than that in earlier time;flower buds at 5 ℃ storage maintained the longest pollen viability,but was not better for flowering and pollen dispersion,so treating flower bud...
