Pollen of timothy grass, Phleum pratense
Scanning electron micrograph of pollen grains of timothy grass, Phleum pratense. The picture shows six grains, two with a germination pore visible (red). The pore is the site within the wall through which the pollen tube emerges when the grain encounters a female stigmatic surface. The tube conveys the male gametes to the ovaries. Grasses are wind-pollinated plants, although hoverflies may sometimes effect pollination. The grains are light and very small - about 30 microns across. They are shed in large numbers and usually travel only a few metres from the plant. Many will fail to reach their intended destination - a female floret; but once airborne, they may cause allergic rhinitis - hay fever"" - in susceptible humans. Rarely, convection currents can carry pollen to a height of 1km above ground. P. pratense is the most common cause of hay fever in the grass pollen season."
