Fig 3. Heat inactivation of pollen germination and prediction by IFC.

A, Germination of fresh and heat-inactivated pollen samples, cucumber (green), sweet pepper (blue), and tomato (red), * p = < 0.05; B, AmphaSoft dot plots and histograms of fresh (left), 40°C-inactivated (middle), and a mixed pollen population. The arrow points at the fresh and germinating population C, IFC prediction of tomato pollen germination (purple) and in vitro pollen germination (red) after heat-inactivation;
