METHOD OF STERILIZING PLANT POLLEN.

摘要

A method of sterilizing plant pollen comprises treating the plants with a sterilizing agent together with a diluent during the fifith and/or the sixth stage of organogenesis. The sterilizing agents used are thiocarbonic acids and/or their derivatives of the genral formula: RXR', where X = S, SO2; R = (CH2)4CO2H; (CH2)4CO2Na; (CH2)4CO2K; (CH2)4CO2C4H9; (CH2)4CO2C8H17; C10H21; R' = (CH2)4CO2H; (CH2)4CO2Na; (CH2)4CO2K; (CH2)4CO2C4H9; (CH2)4CO2C8H17.
