Pollen morphology of the genera Hidalgoa and Dahlia (Coreopsideae, Asteraceae): implications for taxonomy [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2022 Hidalgoa and Dahlia are two closely related genera in Asteraceae, tribe Coreopsideae whose limits need to be clarified. Pollen morphology has been useful for delimitation at the genus level in this family. To better define these genera, the morphology of

Pollen morphology and variability of native and alien, including invasive, species of the genus Spiraea L. (Rosaceae) in Poland. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 The pollen morphology was studied in 25 taxa of the genus Spiraea L. The aims of this study were to describe the pollen morphology and variability and to determine whether the pollen features of alien, expansive or invasive Spiraea species differ from ...

A combinatorial approach to angiosperm pollen morphology. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2016 Angiosperms (flowering plants) are strikingly diverse. This is clearly expressed in the morphology of their pollen grains, which are characterized by enormous variety in their shape and patterning.

The effect of soil physicochemical properties on intraspecific variability of pollen morphology in Staphylea pinnata L. [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSoil properties influence various aspects of plant growth, development and reproduction. Despite the importance of the gametophytic phase in the plant life cycle, its response to soil factors remains poorly understood, particularly in wild plants.

Evolution of pollen morphology in Loranthaceae. [PDF]
Grana, 2018 Earlier studies indicate a strong correlation of pollen morphology and ultrastructure with taxonomy in Loranthaceae. Using high-resolution light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy imaging of the same pollen grains, we document pollen types of 35 genera including 15 studied for the first time.
