The present contribution of the pollen morphology and its exine ultrastructure features of Fagaceae. Altogether 160 species belonging to 9 genera are included in this book. It covers all genera in the Fagaceae that includes Trigonobalanus Forman from Southeast Asia, Colombobalanus Nixon et Crepet and Nothofagus Blume from Southern Hemisphere, besides Chinese native genera and species of Fagaceae.

 

The basic descriptive analyses are derived from observations by means of light microscope, scanning electron microscope, transmission (MRC-600). Four thousand or more photographs were taken subject. It has compiled 176 plates in showing for the taxa. Some plates appended photographs of the specimens and a key of pollen morphology to the genera of Fagaceae, in order to will be attempted to identify them.

Based on the results of a study in characteristics of pollen morphology to divide infra-family taxa, the intergeneric relationship, evolutionary trends and systematic are discussed. In addition to the early differentiation ,diodiversity and biogeography of Fagaceae are still under discussion.

The authors expect that this work is intended a reference of specialists who are engaging in palynology, systematic, geology, phytogeograph, environmental protection, ecology, palaeontology, forestry and other concerned scientific and educational researches.
