Dear All, The topic of microwaving pollen to overcome self-sterility is very interesting. The difficulty I have is that I find the instruction too vague. What is half strength in a microwave? Can you give the setting in Watt? With an indication in Watt the energy applied would be clear, then the length of exposure to that energy can be dealt with separately. I would guess that both the level of energy exposure and its length do matter. Thank you very much Uli
