Abstract
The invention provides novel compositions and methods for liquid-mediated delivery of pollen to a female reproductive part of a recipient plant. The pollen suspension solutions provided include a surfactant, an oil, a solute, or an aqueous solution, and about 2% to about 20% pollen by weight. The methods provided include producing a liquid pollen suspension solution comprising pollen from a donor plant and spraying the solution onto at least a first female reproductive part of a recipient plant, thereby pollinating the female reproductive part with the pollen from the donor plant.
