摘要

Breeding programs and research activities where artificial buzz-pollinations are required to?have primarily relied upon using tuning forks, and bumble bees. However, these methods can be expensive, unreliable, and inefficient. To find an alternative, we tested the efficiency of pollen collection using electric toothbrushes and compared it with tuning forks at three vibration frequencies—low, medium, and high and two extraction times at 3?s and 16?s- from two buzz—pollinated species (Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum elaeagnifolium). Our results show that species, and extraction time significantly influenced pollen extraction, while there were no significant differences for the different vibration frequencies and more importantly, the use of a toothbrush over tuning fork. More pollen was extracted from S. elaeagnifolium when compared to S. lycopersicum, and at longer buzzing time regardless of the instrument used. Our results suggest that electric toothbrushes can be a viable and inexpensive alternative to tuning forks, and regardless of the instrument used and buzzing frequency, length of buzzing time is also critical in pollen extraction.

ElaeaGnifolium中提取更多的花粉,并且无论使用的仪器如何,较长的嗡嗡声。我们的研究结果表明,电动牙刷可以是调谐叉的可行且廉价的替代品,而无论使用的仪器和嗡嗡声频率如何,嗡嗡地段的长度也在花粉提取中也是至关重要的。
