Pollen Storage Question

[Scott Vergara]

Greetings All,

As a plant breeder I am always attempting to make crosses ( both intra and
inter specific) between plants that are out of proper bloom sequence.  Has
anyone attempted or know of published information regarding the collection
and storage of pollen for Arisaema (or for that matter any "hardy" Aroid)
both short term (days-weeks) and long term (till next season)?  This might
be of  use to folks who only have 1 or 2 specimens of a species that never
are of the opposite sex at the same time.


Best Regards,

Scott
