Morphological Study of Pollen as an Aid in Criminal Investigation
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Study of the pollens, Palynology, is now gaining importance in forensic casework analysis. They not only help to link the particular type of flowers found at a crime scene but also to the time (season), when they are in bloom. Forensic palynology refers to the use of pollen and spore evidence in legal cases. The main forensic application of palynology is in providing associative evidence, assisting to prove or dis-prove a link between people and objects with places or with other people. The present study was conducted to examine the pollen morphology of various plants found in Institute Of Science, which are flowering during the month of February and March. Pollen morphology of 9 plants of different species was studied and documented using compound microscope. Keywords: Palynology, Pollen garin, forensic Botany, Spores
