“…Pollen germination and pollen tube growth were determined by placing a small drop of germinating media on a cover glass; pollen grains were sown on the drops with a clean brush, and the cover glass was then inverted and rested on the cavity slide. Pollen was incubated under dark conditions at 25 ∘ C in a culture medium containing 5% sucrose, 5 ppm boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ), and 1% agar [18,19] for 24, 48, and 72 hours of time. For each incubation period, germination was recorded in three drops by counting three fields.…”

“…Similarly, it was showed that a low concentration of sucrose (5%) and temperature of 30 ∘ C during 24-48 hours of incubation were effective for better pollen germination [18,19]. Contradictory to the germination studies mentioned above, it was reported that better pollen germination in caprifigs was obtained with 20% sucrose concentration [17].…”

The evaluation of pollen viability and its germination capacity are two essential criteria for pollinator's characterization. This study was carried out to evaluate pollen quality of eight caprifigs grown in the center-east and north-west of Tunisia. Two colorimetric tests 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) and acetocarmine were used to estimate pollen viability. Germination rate and pollen tube growth in a culture medium containing 5% sucrose, 5 ppm boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ) and 1% agar were registered after 24, 48, and 72 hours (H) of incubation. Results showed that the highest pollen viability rate (84%) was obtained by TTC test in caprifig Assafri, followed by Jrani (80.2%), Djebba 2 (77.8%), and Djebba 1 (73.6%). That of other caprifigs did not exceed 50% for the two tests. In all caprifig types, germination rate and pollen tube growth varied according to the incubation period. The highest percentage of germination (72%) and maximum pollen tube length (960 m) were recorded after 72 H of incubation in caprifigs Assafri and Jrani, respectively. Among the caprifigs studied, four types (Assafri, Jrani, Djebba 1, and Djebba 2) appeared to be suitable pollinators with respect to the criteria investigated.

“…The lowest values were observed on 'Yeşilgüz' (480) and 'Morgüz' (560). (Aksoy et al 2003b). Both dried and fresh Turkish figs are accepted as "Number one" in the world, because of the big size of Turkish figs.…”

“…The country is also the biggest fig exporter among the producer countries with 180,00 tons of exports annually, which represents 52% of the total world fig exports (Anonymous, 2005). About 70% of Turkey's total fig production is for dry consumption (Aksoy et al, 2003).…”

ABSTRACT. The fig tree (Ficus caricaL.) is of significant socioeconomic importance in Turkey, with 25% of the world's fig production. Genetic variation and relationships among 14 wild-grown figs sampled from Coruh Valley in Turkey were characterized by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Ninety-eight DNA fragments were scored after amplification of DNA samples with 13 random primers; 70% of the scored bands were polymorphic. Genetic distances between the fig genotypes ranged from 0.21 to 0.62. Genotypes 08-ART-02 and 08-ART-06 were found to be the most closely related, whereas 08-ART-09 and 08-ART-10 were the most distant. The 14 wild-grown genotypes were grouped into six main clusters and one outgroup. We conclude that RAPD analysis is efficient for genotyping wild-grown fig genotypes.
