What is usually meant by pollen case is the outer protective coat of the pollen grain. It is a highly modified cell wall, with two layers. The interior layer is largely pectocellulose (a combination of pectin and cellulose) with a bit of callose, and the exterior is made of sporopollenin. Sporopollenin is so tough that its exact chemical structure has not been figured out. Atop the sporopollenin layer is a deposit of sticky goo made of pollenkitt and/or tryphine.

Why pine cones are not colorful?

because gymnosperms rely on the mass production of pollen and wind for pollen transfer and pollination. as insects play a relatively small roll in the transfer of pollen there is no necessity for the plant to expend energy on producing colourful cones (as is the case with angiosperms and flowers).


Is there pollen cones and seed cones on the same trees?

Yes, in case of Pinus pollen producing cones (male cones) and seed producing cones (female cones) are present on the same plant. Such plants are called monoecious.


How does wind pollinate?

Is the average number of pollen grains in a cubic meter of air called the pollen rate?

No, the average number of pollen grains in a cubic meter of air is typically referred to as pollen concentration or pollen count, not pollen rate. The pollen rate could refer to the speed at which pollen is released or spread in the air.

Is pollen filled air a homogeneous mixture?

It would be considered heterogenous. If you were to look closely at the air with a light source present the pollen particles become a lot more evident. Only a mixture of gasses in this case would be considered homogenous because there is only one substance front as opposed to the clearly defined surface of a pollen grain.
