On the synergistic action of calcium and antibiotics in pollen growth as observed with ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy

자외선 형광장치현미경으로 본 화분관생장과 석탄 및 aureomycin의 상호작용에 대하여

Observations were made on Crinum and Catharanthus pollen growth in artificial media by an ultraviolet transmission fluorescence microscope showing synergistic effect on pollen growth with calcium (Ca) and aureomycin. Bright yellow fluorescence of aureomycin enabling to trace out at tissue or cellular level did reveal that the greater accumulation of fluorescence occurred in the pollen tube wall if Ca was supplemented to the media than when aureomycin alone was present. The promotive pollen growth the media of Ca alone was further enhanced by the addtion of aureomycin. It was assumed that the promoted pollen growth with aureomycin in the Ca media was probably brought about by a supporting role of aureomycin in the Ca action.
