Rapid pollen rupture and release of pollen cytoplasmic granules upon hydration of allergenic grass and weed species commonly found in subtropical regions

In conclusion, incubation time, incubating solution, and age of pollen significantly affected the amount of pollen rupture and protein release from allergenic pollen. This information provided better understandin g of factors involving the release of allergenic protein from pollen in relation to its internal and external conditions, which could affect its allergenicity.
