Table 1.

Effect of high temperature and CO2 enrichment on pollen germination and on the fraction of elongated pollen tubes

Pollen germination
Treatment (temp. °C) % of total % of control Elongated pollen tubes (% of total)
26/22 37 ± 3 100 15 ± 2
32/26 12 ± 2 32 0
26/22 31 ± 3 100 17 ± 3
26/22+ CO2 48 ± 5 154 29 ± 3

Control treatment is considered as 26/22 °C (day/night) at normal CO2 concentration. Data are means (n = 8) ± s.e.
