ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and instrument for the preparation of pollen and the development of a pollen bank for breeding purposes. More specifically, the invention relates to a method and instrument that permits pollen to be cryogenically stored in a viable state. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method of employing a heat or water or pressure related measurement to determine the readiness of the pollen for cryogenic storage.
