%X Pollen viability and germination capacity of strawberry genotypes were investigated using fresh pollen at 24¡ãC. On 2012 environmental conditions of spring, the pollen viability rates showed significant differences from 2.85% up to 84.46% according to different genotypes. Under in vitro conditions the pollen proved different levels of germination using 1.5 g agar + 15 g sucrose + 0,01 g boric acid medium and incubation for 6-8 hours. For preliminary evaluation of strawberry genitors and cross ¨C pollination, both characteristics are important indicators.
