Structural basis for recognition of RALF peptides by LRX proteins during pollen tube growth

Plant reproduction relies on the highly regulated growth of the pollen tube for sperm delivery. This process is controlled by secreted RALF signaling peptides, which have previously been shown to be perceived by Catharanthus roseus RLK1-like (CrRLK1Ls) mem ...

Cloud condensation nuclei activity of six pollenkitts and the influence of their surface activity

Athanasios Nenes

The role of surfactants in governing water interactions of atmospheric aerosols has been a recurring topic in cloud microphysics for more than two decades. Studies of detailed surface thermodynamics are limited by the availability of aerosol samples for ex ...

The European Modern Pollen Database (EMPD) project

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Pamela Collins, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Achille Mauri

Modern pollen samples provide an invaluable research tool for helping to interpret the quaternary fossil pollen record, allowing investigation of the relationship between pollen as the proxy and the environmental parameters such as vegetation, land-use, an ...

Modern pollen rain and fungal spore assemblages from pasture woodlands around Lake Saint-Point (France)

François Gillet

Modern analogs are commonly used to investigate the relationships between modern pollen rain and the surrounding present vegetation and to improve our interpretation of fossil data. We collected modern pollen and spore rain in 18 more or less grazed and/or ...

Holocene history of Lac des Lauzons (2180 m a.s.l.), reconstructed from multiproxy analyses of Coleoptera, plant macroremains and pollen (Hautes-Alpes, France)

Alexandre Buttler

A 1.70 m core extracted from the Lac des Lauzons, Haut Champsaur, French Alps, at 2180 m altitude, provided a detailed Holocene record of beetles, pollen and plant macrofossils, enabling the reconstruction of local palaeoenvironmental changes during the la ...

Cellular Dynamics and Three-Dimensional Refractive Index Distribution Studied with Quantitative Phase Imaging

Nicolas Pavillon

We present in this PhD thesis work various applications of digital holographic microscopy (DHM), an imaging technique based on coherent illumination which enables the recovery of the full complex wavefront, i.e. the amplitude and phase of a wave field whic ...

A rapid response of testate amoebae and vegetation to inundation of a kettle hole mire

Mariusz Lamentowicz

Our palaeoecological study covers 73 years of history (1929-2002) of a kettle hole peatland inundated by water from a nearby, dammed lake. Testate amoebae, pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) were used to track the shift to wetter conditions in the p ...

POLLEN CLUMPING AND WIND DISPERSAL IN AN INVASIVE ANGIOSPERM

Marc Parlange, Michael David Martin, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

Pollen dispersal is a fundamental aspect of plant reproductive biology that maintains connectivity between spatially separated populations. Pollen clumping, a characteristic feature of insect-pollinated plants, is generally assumed to be a detriment to win ...

Large eddy simulation of pollen transport in the atmospheric boundary layer

Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

This paper presents a framework to simulate pollen dispersal by the wind based on the large eddy simulation(LES) technique. Important phenomena such as the pollen emission by the plants and the ground deposition are parameterized by the lower boundary cond ...

Multidisciplinary approach to reconstructing local pastoral activities: an example from the Pyrenean Mountains (Pays Basqueq)

Alexandre Buttler

In this study archaeology, history and palaeoecology (modern and fossil data sets of pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs) were used to reconstruct small-scale pastoral activities in the Pyrenees Mountain during the last two millennia. Modern pollen assembla ...

The influence of local meteorological conditions on the circadian rhythm of corn (Zea mays L.) pollen emission

Marc Parlange

Field experiments were performed to study the diurnal cycle of corn pollen emission and its relation to local meteorological conditions, including temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, mean wind speed, and turbulence quantities. Pollen concentra ...

An optical tweezer actuated, nanoaperture-grid based Optofluidic Microscope implementation method

Demetri Psaltis

We report a novel grid based Optofluidic Microscope (OFM) method where a closely spaced 2D grid of nanoapertures (diameter = 100 nm, separation = 2.5 mu m) provided patterned illumination. We achieved a one-to-one mapping of the light transmissions through ...

Cell refractive index tomography by digital holographic microscopy

Tristan Colomb, Frédéric Montfort, Etienne Cuche, Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Jonas Kühn, Florian Charrière, Mihaela Marian

For what we believe to be the first time, digital holographic microscopy is applied to perform optical diffraction tomography of a pollen grain. Transmission phase images with nanometric axial accuracy are numerically reconstructed from holograms acquired ...

Modern pollen-vegetation relationships in the Champsaur valley (French Alps) and their potential in the interpretation of fossil pollen records of past cultural landscapes

Alexandre Buttler

This study is an attempt to evaluate the relationships between the vegetation and the modem pollen rain as a contribution to palaeoecological research. Pollen analysis of surface moss polsters and floristic records has been undertaken for 51 sampling point ...
