A reliable in vitro method for germination of sainfoin pollen grains has been developed. Highest pollen germination rate of 96% with mean pollen tube length of 223.5 μm was obtained on medium containing of 100 g/1 sucrose, 200 mg/1 KNO3, 150 mg/1 H3BO3, 150 mg/1 MgSO4, 150 mg/1 Ca(NO3)2, 175 g/1 PEG 4000 and stigma extract at pH 6.5.
