Date palm cultivation has been gaining popularity in the dry tracts of India. To optimize the storage
conditions for long term storage of date palm pollen. Air dried pollen was sealed airtight in aluminium
pouches and stored at 4 and -20 and -196℃. Viability of fresh and stored pollen was tested in vitro using
hanging drop technique for different durations such as 2, 3, 6 and 12 months. Among the different
storage conditions, the pollen retrieved from cryopreservation recorded highest viability throughout the
experiment period. Significant and gradual reduction in the germinability of pollen stored under 4℃ was
observed throughout the period of investigation. Cryogenic storage is a promising method to store date
palm pollen for commercial date production, breeding programs and conservation of elite pollen parents.
