Pollen grains are able to withstand extremes of temperature and dessication because their exine is composed of

  • cutin

  • suberin

  • sporopollenin

  • callose


C.

sporopollenin

Exine is outer layer of pollen grain which is acetolysis resistant layer. It is also resistant to physical and biological degradation. Because of this property of exine, pollen grains are found well preserved for long periods in fossil deposits.

Cutin is a waxy repellant substance in the cuticle of plants, consisting of higly polymerized esters of fatty acids.

Suberin is an  inert impermeable waxy substance present in the cell walls of corky tissues.

Callose is a plant polysaccharide. It plays an important in plant development.
