The collection of oil species in Novi Sad (Serbia) contains 12 species represented with 1-4 cultivars or landraces. In the continuous work on this collection in the sense of breeding of some of those species and their usage as a source of desirable genes we analyzed pollen grain morphology (shape and size), as well as pollen viability. The results showed that species differ by pollen grain shape as well as shape of exine. In some species there was a specific number of apertures present (1-11). The size of viable pollen grains ranged from 29.10/12.58 M (coriander) to 176.63/169.94 M (oil gourd), while non-viable pollen grains were always smaller (27.27/10.97 M to 119.62/100.86 M) at the same plant species. Pollen viability of most species was around 80%. The lowest pollen viability was found in white flax (56.98%), and the highest in oil pumpkin (91.43%).
