Four different boron doses containing 1% agar, 15% sucrose and 0, 10, 20 and 30 mg/l </span> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Cambria Math’, serif;" xml:lang="en-gb">⁻ </span> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:10pt;" xml:lang="en-gb">¹ boric acid were used as a germination medium.

It has been observed that germination rates of flower pollen of both types of flower increased significantly in comparison with control with boron applications. </span> </p> <p> <b> <i> </i> </b> </p> <b> <i> </i> </b>}, number={1}, publisher={Volkan OKATAN}
