Photo Mug : Flame lily pollen, SEM
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Flame lily pollen, SEM
Flame lily (Gloriosa sp.) pollen grains, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The grains have a highly sculptured outer wall (exine), which may assist in their dispersal by improving their adherence to pollinating insects. The characteristic surface of pollen grains is used by botanists to recognise and classify plants. Each pollen grain contains a male gamete (reproductive cell) that is intended to fertilise an egg or ovule (female gamete), and initiate the formation of a seed for a new plant.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Flame lily pollen grains, as seen through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The grains exhibit a highly sculptured outer wall, known as exine, which serves a crucial role in their dispersal by enhancing adherence to pollinating insects. Botanists rely on these characteristic surface features to identify and classify different plant species. Each individual pollen grain contains a male gamete or reproductive cell that is responsible for fertilizing an egg or ovule, ultimately giving rise to the formation of new plants through seed production. This magnified image reveals the numerous yellow-hued pollen grains closely packed together. The false-coloured SEM technique employed here adds vibrancy and depth to this biological marvel. At 75 times magnification when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the microscopic wonders hidden within nature's flora. Nature enthusiasts and botany aficionados will find themselves captivated by this stunning portrayal of flame lily pollen. Its scientific significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in providing insights into reproduction mechanisms and evolutionary adaptations within plant species. Science Photo Library has once again captured the essence of botanical beauty with this remarkable image.
