Hello, everyone! I was looking for some images of Fabaceae and realized that the photos associated with Mimosa pigra are not correct. The pollen of Mimosa pigra is a tetrad. I think the error may have been in the taxonomic identification of the specimen they used to take the pollen. You can access the entry here: https://www.paldat.org/pub/Mimosa_pigra/303351.

A new PalDat version is online! The Alphabetical Search is sorted by column now and all Links are updated. Most of the changes in the new version are not visible for users, but we have a lot of new features in the review and administrative process, which makes life much easier for us :-)

The "Taxonomic Search" is online in PalDat!

The search for order and family will be displayed in the taxonomic tree on the right side. The "Search Results" will be displayed on a separate page by klick on the order, family, genus or a species in the tree. Hope you like it!

Thank you for the gentle conditions I have found to of register to PalDat.

I am looking for a picture of the pollen of the clementine tree (Citrus reticulata). Do you think I could get it from the Database ?

I often need to search by family and miss this feature in the new version. Do you have plans to add this feature?


beatrice ALBERT (France)

I would like to search by family, as in the previous version of paldat. I used very often paldat for my research, a family search will be very nice.

thank you for your attention.

The new version of the site makes it very difficult to get data from a particular family - or at least I cannot figure out how to search for a specific family. In the previous version it was very easy to do. Can this feature be restored?

Very nice site. I have two suggestions. First, it would be helpful when listing Latin binomials to also list the authority (this can help in resolving synonyms). Second, it would also be helpful if people who post entries checked their Latin binomials against The Plant List (http://www.theplantlist.org/) to make sure they are using the most current accepted name.

Wollt einfach schauen, was die Andrea so macht, wenn sie nicht grad singt. No, fad dürft ihr bei euch ja net grad sein. Ich versteh zwar nur Bahnhof, aber PalDat gefällt mir sehr gut. Einige Fotos kenn ich ja schon, von Postkarten, Schoko-Papierl oder Schlüsselband :-). Auch wenn man nicht vom Fach ist, die Fotos sind einfach zum Anschauen sehr schön. Gvlg, molly

Congratulation on you for the site, it is very helpful to lead Palynology to whom needs pollen knowledge. Besides, it will be helpful to my Palynology classes, even being in English - my student will surely sail here on your site. Parabéns!!!!

Good! You've helped me a lot, I'm doing a researchproject for a biological contest in Poland. The website was helpful when I had to recognise polllen grains I had collected. I've been working with a microscope connected to my computer for 2 months. Great thanks! (BTW, my job was to count pollen grains of some plants and then to make a project out of it).

We are working in a Archeobatanic's Lab in Ecuador. We are very interesting in your job. We are starting a colection of pollen in Ecuador.

We need advice about the diferent technics and more information about pollen description.

Will be a pleasure to contac with your institution for more information.

Thanks

Hi!As many other have done so, I would like to congratulate you on a fantastic website. I really like the search engine and the pictures of the flowering plant included in the search results. I believe that it would be useful to try to include as many light-microscopy pictures as possible, I look at fossilised pollen using this technique and I think that this would be the 'icing-on-the-cake'! Thanks for all the hard-work and keep it up!

Hello,

With this message I just wanted to show my appreciation for the quality images found on your site. As hobby beekeeper I am greatly helped by the images and the descriptive information, assisting me in the recognition process of the pollen grains that I find in our honey and on the bees and investigate under my (simple) light microscope. All this in turn tells me a lot about the possible nektar and floral sources that our bees are finding throughout the year.

With regards,

Ron van Mierlo

Sir,

Though your site is surely excellent, let me make two remarks in brief:

Firstly, I would like to suggest that also optical microscope pictures be presented on your site. This might well improve the site's value for students who have no regular access to an electronic microscope.

Secondly, I would expect as normal friendly service to customers that I can get your site in my language which is the official language of this country.

Yours

Dr. Gertraud Benedikt

Servus Ihr lieben Elektronen!

Unter Search/Österr. Flora steht doch tatsächlich lateinisch anstatt botanisch bei der wissenschaftlichen Pflanzenbezeichnung. Das ist aber auch schon das Einzige was mir an Eurer tollen Homepage negativ aufgefallen ist.

Sehr schöne Pollenbilder! Und vorbildlich aufbereitet.

Darf ich sie mit unserer Pollenseite (Samenproduktion von Waldbäumen)verlinken?

Leider gibt es mit dem Opera Browser folgendes Problem: Nach dem Betrachten einer vergrösserten Ansicht und anklicken des "back" buttons werde ich immer wieder zur PalDat Startseite geschickt, sodass das betrachten etwas mühsam wird; hm.

Dear PalDat.

Your web site on pollen is terrific! I enjoy browsing trough it, there are spectacular and useful pictures of pollen grains!

I will be doing some work on African Annonaceae soon, and I wanted to know if your database is editable. I noticed you did not have any Annonaceae pollen on your website. I would be very glad to contribute with my pictures once there are taking. I will be applying for grant in order to undertake that work. If I could include in my proposal that my pictures shall be included in your web site, it would enhance my chances.

Thank you,

Best regards

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren!

Ihre Datenbank ist ein schönes und nützliches Nachschlagewerk um Pollen zuzuordnen. Ich beschäftige mich als Hobby etwas mit den Pollen.

Wäre es möglich, diese auch auf CD zu bekommen? Mein Internetzugang ist nur 45k schnell und wird nach der Zeit im Internet abgerechnet. Deshalb wäre es sehr angenehm, die Datenbank offline zur Verfügung zu haben. Mögliche Datenbankformate sind Access, SQL-Server und MySQL.

Auch Literaturhinweise wären nützlich (speziell die Zuordnung von mikroskopischen Bildern zu den Pflanzenarten).

Danke im Voraus für die Auskunft!

I was trying to find information on the hydrolisis resistance of pollens. i.e. is the pollen of a monocotyledone less resistant than that of a dicotyledone ?

what difference is there in the composition of the sporopollenine of the pollen case etc etc

Über 3SAT/Nano habe ich heute von Ihrer Datenbank erfahren. Offensichtlich muß man aber erst Botanik-Englisch lernen um damit umzugehen ... wirklich schade, ich dachte in Wien spricht man noch eine Form von deutscher Sprache.

Oder will man mit den Piefkes jetzt nichts nehr gemein haben?

Dear colleagues, this site is very important because we have the possibility to know the morphology of pollen for so many species; because of this it is USEFULL.

It is apreciable that you present the morphology of dry and hydrated grains; nevertheless owing to the fact that at dispersal there are two categories of pollen grains: partially dehydrated and partially hydrated, the second category looses water quickly and die. The morphology of some dry pollen grains reported in this site (Parietaria and Hibiscus) is that of died pollen and do not repfect the natural condition.

See our paper appeared recently on Protoplasma 216:171-180.

HAVE OUR BEST WISHES

Hi

This is a great site and the images are stunning.

I am currently undertaking an M.Sc. on the taxonomy on Chironia in Southern Africa, at the University of Durban Westville under Dr. Ashley Nicholas. I would like to make some semi-permanent slides of pollen grains. Could someone please give me a reference for a modern recipe that I could use.

Thanks alot.

Keep up the great work!
