are desirable for fruit-growing and breeding studies ( Arbeloa et al., 2009 ; Bridgen, 1994 ). For this purpose, some growth regulators such as GA 3 and cytokinin as antagonists of ABA ( Nicolas et al., 1996 ) are used to induce the germination of
China originated from Europe, and grape commercial breeding populations in China share a narrow genetic base as a result of their common origins from a number of popular cultivars, such as Muscat Hamburg and Kyoho. However, China, as one of the major
compatibility with germination media. Like pollen viability tests, this method is laborious and has low throughput, limiting its usefulness in breeding. There have been reports that IFC is an efficient, label-free, and reliable technique to analyze pollen

Distant hybridization is an important means of expanding genetic variation and creating new species ( Chen et al., 2018 ; Sharma and Gill, 1983 ). As a valuable method of plant breeding, distant hybridization has been widely used for various
