Abstract: The pollen germination and pollen tube growth of tea plant,as well as their relationship with nitric oxide(NO)under low-temperature were studied using pollen of culivar‘Longjing 43’. The results showed that low-temperature significantly inhibited the tea pollen germination and pollen tube growth in a time-dependent manner. Similar inhibitory effects in a dose-dependent manner were observed with exogenous NO donor(Sodium Nitroprusside,SNP). Both NO scavenger(cPTIO)and nitric oxide synthase(NOS)inhibitor(L-NNA)partially alleviated this inhibitory effect. Furthermore,the NO releasing along with the NOS activity were promoted in tea pollen tubes under low-temperature. The results indicated that the inhibitory effects of low-temperature treatment on tea pollen germination and pollen tube growth are related to NO generating from NOS activity.
