Abstract
Sporopollenin was isolated from pollen of Lilium longiflorum, Ambrosia trifida and A. artemisiifolia.The sporopollenin was characterized with respect to its infrared spectrum, elemental composition and nature of potassium hydroxide fusion products. Sporopollenin from the Ambrosia species seemed identical. There were only slight differences between Lilium and Ambrosia sporopollenin.
