Abstract

Classical palynology is based on the morphological description of pollen obtained using the light microscopy technique, which has along with its advantages a number of limitations. Due to the genetic study of mixtures of pollen and spores of different plant species, it will be possible to obtain more accurate identification of pollen species composition and to replace or effectively supplement morphological analysis with DNA analysis. The presented literature review demonstrates great potential of using pollen DNA barcoding in a number of areas of applied palynology.
