Pollen transmits the male genetic material in sexual reproduction
of all higher plants. This same pollen is also well suited as a
research tool for studying many patterns of plant and animal
metabolism. In addition, an increased knowledge of pollen may help
plant breeders accelerate efforts to improve the world's food and
fiber supply. This volume focuses upon pollen biology and
chemistry; it attempts to inte grate these facts with management
practices involved in pollen applications. People have long been
involved with pollen. Pollen applications are recorded in the rites
of ancient civilizations (see Frontispiece). From the earliest
times many benefits have been attributed to the inclusion of pollen
in man's diet; also, since the mid-19th century air-borne pollen
has been recognized as detrimental to many people's health.
Disciplines concerned with man's cultural history and the earth's
changing ecology find pollen a particularly useful and accessible
tool. Identifiable parts of pollen have survived over 100 million
years. But most books dealing with pollen are generally concerned
with the identification of the plant source, an aspect of the
science of palynology; other books emphasize the natural vectors
transmit ting pollen, the pollination mechanisms. Very few works
include the biochem istry or biology of pollen. Yet extensive
studies by physicians, as well as plant breeders and apiculturists,
have contributed a sizeable body of research relating to pollen."
