To overcome the barrier ofhindering the growth of thepollen grainon the stigma or
style, a part of the stigmaor style may becutand the pollen grain may be placedon
the cut surface of the ovary or transferred through ahole in the ovary wall called
intraovarian pollinationEg.
Papaver somniferu
,
P. rhoeas
,
Argemone mexicana
In vitro
fertilization (IVF)is a process wherebyreproductive structures are isolated
andintroduced to each other enablingfusion ofgametesto proceed under culture
conditions.
Isolation of ovules with out any damage aspossible in these spp. which
contributingmaximum to the success in the
in vitro
pollination.
There must beabundant growth of pollen tubesallover the ovules and placenta in
the culture.
Conditions required for successful IVF
==================================================

====
Other requirements:
Before to start, the information on1.Time of anthesis2.Time of dehiscence3.Time of
germination of pollen tubes intoovules4.Viability of ovules and fertilization insidethe
embryo sacs etc. are essential forsuccessful IVF.

Disinfection of materials
The buds to be brought to the laboratory foraseptic culturejust before the anthers
are at thestage of dehiscence
The ovary wall should be carefully peeled withscalpel, needle to expose the mass of
ovulesattached to the placenta.
Anthers collected form the bud are kept in assterile Petri dish containing apre-
sterilized filterpaper until their dehiscence.
In maize husks are severed after 2-4 days ofsilking with a scalpel.
Twenty four hours after the pollination silksare clipped off and the Petri plates
sealed.
The growth of the pollen tube on the barren ovule isaffected by the presence
ofmoisture on the surface ofthe ovule.
The ovules may be wiped with a filter paper and thencovered with pollen grains.
After 4-6 days the ovules contain single celled zygotewhich requires acomplex
growth condition.
In self pollinated species, the ovules with zygotes arekept along with placenta until
seed formation while incross pollinated species they require the placenta onlyin the
initial6-8 days.
Addition ofvitamin Bto the medium resulted in thedevelopment of normal fruits and
viable seeds
Enrichment of medium withIAA and coconut milkinduced larger fruits than the fruits
formed in
in vivo
condition (Kanta& Maheswari, 1963).
The floral envelops (lemma & palea) play an importantrole in the development of
fruit & embryo in monocots.
This requirement of floral envelop with the excisedovule in monocots for the fruit
development is knownasHull factor.
