Germination Schedules of Pollen Grains: Implications for Pollen Selection.

Pollen Grains Contour Analysis on Verification Approach

Earth’s biodiversity has been suffering the effects of human contamination, and as a result there are many species of plants and animals that are dying. Automatic recognition of pollen species by means of computer vision helps to locate specific species and through this identification, study all the diseases and predators which affect this specie, so biologist can improve methods to preserve th...

Interaction Between Air Pollutants and Pollen Grains: The Role on the Rising Trend in Allergy

Asthma and allergic diseases cases have risen in recent decades. Plant pollen is considered as the main aeroallergen causing allergic reactions. According to available data, urban residents experience more respiratory allergies than rural residents mainly due to the interaction between chemical air pollutants and pollen grains. This interaction can occur through several mechanisms; chemical pol...

The Most Common Allergenic Tree Pollen Grains in the Middle East: A Narrative Review

Allergy is becoming a major disease burden globally. Pollens are considered as the main component of aeroallergens that lead to rhinitis and asthma. Due to the lack of a comprehensive investigation on most allergic pollens of trees in the Middle East, the present study aimed to conduct a comprehensive literature review on this topic. The main goal of the study was to provide a checklist for all...

Isolation and DNA-Marker Based Genotyping of Individual Pollen Grains

Dry pollen of diploid Solanum clone 9507-04, Cotton chromosomal substitution line and Echinacea purpurea „Magnus‟ were isolated and their cells contents released in individual tubes containing water or pollen germination media, respectively.Six polymorphic markers from individual pollen grains of the diploid potato were amplified using two random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers, i.e., ...
