Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention provides novel systems and methods for drying and storing pollen. The invention further provides novel methods for delivering pollen to a recipient plant. The systems provided herein include a chamber configured to permit a drying gas to contact pollen, a source for the drying gas, and an instrument configured to measure the humidity of the drying gas or a sensor configured to measure the moisture content of the pollen. The methods provided herein include methods of drying pollen to a desired moisture content, methods of storing dried pollen, and methods of applying the dried or stored pollen to at least a recipient plant, thereby pollinating the recipient plant with the dried or stored pollen from the donor plant.
