	Pollen Allergy
		A pollen count, which is familiar to many people from local weather reports, is a measure of how much pollen is in the air.
		Pollen counts tend to be highest early in the morning on warm, dry, breezy days and lowest during chilly, wet periods.
		Although a pollen count is an approximate and fluctuating measure, it is useful as a general guide for when it is advisable to stay indoors and avoid contact with the pollen.

	Fossil Groups - Spores and Pollen
		Pollen and spores are critical parts of the life cycles of vascular and, because they have very resistant walls, pollen and spores typically are the most abundant, easily identifiable, and best preserved plant remains in sediments and sedimentary rocks.
		To study pollen grains and spores, a compound microscope must be used because pollen and spores are very small, typically between 10 micrometers (µm) and 200 µm (There are 1000 µm in 1 millimeter, and a millimeter is about equal to the diameter of the head of a pin).
		Pollen and spores typically are isolated from sediments and rocks using both chemical and physical means, and they ultimately are mounted on microscope slides for examination with the light microscope.

	Flower Pollen
		Pollen consists of the male germ seeds of plants, flowers or blossoms on trees.
		As plants flower, pollen is transferred from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of a pistil; on reaching the ovary it brings about fertilization of seeds.

		In the case of pollen allergy, the antibody is specific for each type of pollen: one antibody may be produced to react against oak pollen and another against ragweed pollen, for example.
		Complete avoidance of allergenic pollen means moving to a place where the offending plant does not grow and where its pollen is not present in the air.
		Modifying Pollen Extracts Among the most promising innovations is the development of modified pollen extracts that appear to reduce allergic reactions to the material used in immunotherapy.

		POLLEN: The multinucleate reproductive microgametophyte of seed plants, enclosed in the microspore wall.
		Fossil pollen consists of the microspore wall, comprised of sporopollenin, and generally identified by its apertures and sculpture.
		Unlike "spore" the word "pollen" is a collective noun like the word "flour" from which the word palynology is derived.

	Pollen Count (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Pollen counts often report the pollen numbers for a particular plant group, such as grasses, trees, mold and weeds as high, moderate, low or absent In other reports, counts are given as actual numbers of grains per cubic meter of air.
		If a person is allergic to high concentrations of ragweed pollen, but the pollen count that day indicates that the numbers are high due to an abundance of oak tree pollen, and very little ragweed pollen, that person may not be affected at all.
		The pollen counts collected and reported at the Florida Museum are generally valid for much of north-central Florida, as most of the pollen captured by the Burkard pollen collector is from plants that produce airborne pollen and spores which may travel great distances.

	Insects for Pollen Analyses - USDA, ARS, APMRU, Pollen Lab
		Pollen analyses of Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) historically is conducted by examining the exterior of the insect.
		Pollen also can fall into a flower's nectar when the anthers are dislodged by the wind, insects, animals, etc. Once the nectar is contaminated with pollen, that pollen will be taken into the insect's digestive system or may "stick" to its proboscis when the insect is foraging.
		New techniques in entomopalynology (study of pollen on or in an insect) are being developed to enable better, quicker, and sometimes cheaper examination of insects for pollen.
