Pollen Lifespan Statistics
On average, the lifespan of pollen varies from a few hours to several days depending on the plant species.
In this post, we explore the fascinating world of pollen lifespan. From mere minutes to several decades, the viability of pollen grains varies greatly among different species. Join us as we delve into the intriguing statistics behind the endurance of these tiny yet essential reproductive units.
Statistic 1
"Pollen grains can survive from a few minutes to one year, depending on the species."
Statistic 2
"Many conifers have pollen grains that can remain viable for up to a year."
Statistic 3
"Wind-borne pollen is usually viable for 1-3 hours, though some activity may persist for 24-48 hours."
Statistic 4
"Inside the anther (pollen producer), pollen viability can range from a few hours to a few months."
Statistic 5
"For maize, pollen lifespan at noon is typically 9 to 10 minutes."
Statistic 6
"When dried and then rehydrated, pollen from many different species still demonstrated germination viability after 1 day."
Statistic 7
"Pollen from some species in the Caryophyllaceae family has been found to remain viable for over 60 years."
Statistic 8
"Pollen stored at -20 degrees Celsius can remain viable for up to 30 years in some species."
Statistic 9
"A study on ferns found that their pollen can survive for about a week at most."
Statistic 10
"For rice, pollen lifespan at high temperature is only about 15 minutes."
Statistic 11
"Pollen from Artemisia species has a short airborne lifespan of about 30 minutes."
Statistic 12
"Pollen aged for 30 days at room temperature shows significant reduction in germination."
