From pollen forecasting, honey analysis and climate-related changes in plant-pollinator interactions, analysing pollen plays an important role in many areas of research. Microscopy is still the gold ...

The approach combines scanning electron microscopy with a computer vision model and a web-based application to automatically classify pollen grains based on their microscopic surface features. Its ...

A team of researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute is digitizing images of pollen from more than18,000 plant species from the tropics. These images are being used to train a ...

Pollen morphology offers critical insights into plant taxonomy by deciphering the intricacies of pollen grain structure. The shape, size, and surface ornamentation of pollen – features underpinned by ...

Aeroallergens like dust mites, pollens, dogs' and cats' dander and mold can influence the respiratory system and these allergens can be the consequences of respiratory diseases such as asthma and ...

Pollen from 18,000 tropical plants was digitized in Panama. The images will be used to train a machine-learning model to identify pollen grains, as part of the PollenGEO project Elisabeth King A team ...

As a palynologist, I study microscopic fossil spores and pollen that were produced by plants for reproduction. Pollen is highly important to the future of every plant and is made of an incredibly ...
