Pollen grains of Hazel tree
Hazel pollen. Light micrograph of pollen grains from the Hazel tree Corylus avellana. These microspores are shed from male catkins (hanging pollen- bearing structures) on the Hazel tree, released into the air and carried by wind to pollinate the female flowers. Large quantities of Hazel pollen occur as a fine yellow mist at springtime in parts of Europe, and may contribute to attacks of hay fever (allergic rhinitis). Magnification: x125 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of pollen grains from the Hazel tree, scientifically known as Corylus avellana. The light micrograph captures these tiny microspores that are released from male catkins, which are hanging structures containing pollen. As spring arrives in certain parts of Europe, large quantities of this Hazel pollen create a mesmerizing yellow mist that fills the air. However, while it may be visually stunning, it can also contribute to hay fever or allergic rhinitis. The magnification at x125 and 35mm size allows us to appreciate the delicate details and unique structure of these reproductive particles. This image serves as a reminder of nature's remarkable ability to reproduce and sustain life through pollination. From an ecological perspective, this photograph highlights the crucial role played by wind in carrying these pollen grains to fertilize female flowers on Hazel trees. It is fascinating how such small entities have such significant impacts on plant reproduction. Science Photo Library has once again captured a momentous natural phenomenon with their expertise in botanical photography. This particular print not only celebrates the beauty found within plants but also sheds light on potential health implications caused by hazel pollen during springtime.
