          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Elaeis oleifera chromosomes are similar to those of E. guineensis, with close gene pools for the production of interspecific O x G hybrids. The pollen viability and germination of E. oleifera ‘Coarí’ and E. guineensis ‘La Mé’ were compared to their interspecific hybrid O x G (‘Coarí’ x ‘La Mé’). The pollen viability was determined by the acetocarmine staining method (0.5 %) and the pollen germination by in vitro incubation on agar-sucrose medium (1.2-11.0 g in 100 mL of distilled water). The pollen viability and germination of the ‘Coarí’ x ‘La Mé’ hybrid were significantly lower than those of their parents. The percentage of pollen viability by acetocarmine staining was higher than that of in vitro germination, indicating that not all pollen grains classified as viable germinated on the agar-sucrose medium. The pollen germination test is a more reliable indicator than the staining viability test, because the latter only reveals that the pollen contains the enzymes necessary to initiate germination, while the germination test determines the emission and development of the pollen tube.

          RESUMO Os cromossomos de Elaeis oleifera são semelhantes aos de E. guineensis, com pools genéticos próximos para a produção de híbridos interespecíficos O x G. A viabilidade e germinação do pólen de E. oleifera ‘Coarí’ e E. guineensis ‘La Mé’ foram comparadas com as de seu híbrido interespecífico O x G (‘Coarí’ x ‘La Mé’). A viabilidade do pólen foi determinada pelo método de coloração com acetocarmina (0,5 %) e a germinação por incubação in vitro, em meio ágar-sacarose (1,2-11,0 g em 100 mL de água destilada). A viabilidade e germinação de pólen do híbrido ‘Coarí’ x ‘La Mé’ foram significativamente menores do que as de seus progenitores. A porcentagem de viabilidade do pólen pela coloração com acetocarmina foi superior à germinação in vitro, indicando que nem todos os grãos de pólen classificados como viáveis germinaram no meio ágar-sacarose. O teste de germinação de pólen é um indicador mais confiável que o de viabilidade por coloração, pois este apenas revela que o pólen contém as enzimas necessárias para iniciar a germinação, enquanto o teste de germinação determina a emissão e desenvolvimento do tubo polínico.
