Groups of Self-Incompatibility | Palynology

Self-incompatibility system can be divided into two basic groups: 1. Heteromorphic Systems 2. Homomorphic Systems. Group # 1. Heteromorphic Incompatibility: This incompatibility refers to those plants where the same species produces more than one morphological types of flower, where the relative length of the style (distyly and tristyly) and stamens differ. In distyly the plants produce two forms of flowers, [...]

Adaptation of Pollen Grains in Plants | Palynology

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Pollen Wall Adaptations 2. Harmomegathic Adaptation 3. Adaptation to Habitat 4. Adaptation to Mode of Pollination The Sporoderm structure, its chemical constituents and the diverse aperture types of pollen grains, has possibly developed as a need to adaptation in response to their respective habitats and mode of pollination. It has been seen [...]

4 Main Methods of Air Sampling | Palynology

The following points highlight the four main methods of air sampling. The methods are: 1. Gravity Sedimentation Methods 2. Inertial Methods 3. Filtration 4. Precipitation. 1. Gravity Sedimentation Methods: a. Sedimentation from still air: Alvarez and Castro (1952) constructed a simple box for the study of airborne fungi, has two hinged slides and a covered tray at the bottom for [...]
