Experiment Overview

Repository ID: FR-FCM-Z7LZ Experiment name: Multispectral imaging flow cytometry for spatio-temporal pollen trait variation measurements of insect-pollinated plants MIFlowCyt score: 27.75%
Primary researcher: Susanne Dunker PI/manager: Susanne Dunker Uploaded by: Susanne Dunker
Experiment dates: 2019-01-01 - 2022-12-31 Dataset uploaded: May 2024 Last updated: Feb 2025
Keywords: [Pollen] [multispectral imaging cytometry] Manuscripts:
Organizations: Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung - UFZ, Physiological Diversity, Leipzig, (Germany)
Purpose: Study of spatio-temporal pollen trait variation measurements of four insect-pollinated plants
Conclusion: AI-driven pollen image recognition grows, but application to real-world samples is still challenging. Our study investigates spatial and temporal variations in pollen traits of 64,001 pollen of four species showing species-specific trait variations. Multiple diverse samples improve classification reliability, emphasizing the significance of variation in AI-based pollen identification.
