Abstract

Summary

Background

The grass pollen season is characterized by a particularly long duration, covering the months May to July in Europe but can vary depending on the altitude and geographical location.

Methods

Three grass species whose flowering period takes place late in the season are discussed in detail: Phragmites australis (common reed), Miscanthus spp. (silvergrass), and Zea mays (maize).

Results

Phragmites australis flowers between August and September and provides significant pollen concentrations at sites with large reed populations. Miscanthus spp. flowers from August to October and is found as an ornamental plant in urban areas and as a crop plant in rural areas. Zea mays flowers from July to October and can cause discomfort especially in the vicinity of cornfields.

Discussion

Phenological observations are an important part of aerobiological routine work to gain insights into regional peculiarities like late-flowering grasses, which play a role in prolonging the duration of the grass pollen season.

延长致敏负担期：晚花草和当地特点

夏季背景草花粉季节的特点是持续时间特别长，在欧洲覆盖5月至7月，但可能因海拔高度和地理位置而异。方法对芦苇（普通芦苇）、芒草（银草）和玉米（玉米）三种花期晚的草本植物进行了详细的研究。芒属植物从8月到10月开花，在城市地区是一种观赏植物，在农村地区也是一种作物。玉米从七月到十月开花，会引起不适，尤其是在玉米地附近。讨论表型观测是空气生物学常规工作的重要组成部分，目的是深入了解晚花草等区域特性，这些特性在延长草花粉季节的持续时间方面发挥着作用。

期刊介绍： Allergo Journal International is the official Journal of the German Society for Applied Allergology (AeDA) and the Austrian Society for Allergology and Immunology (ÖGAI). The journal is a forum for the communication and exchange of ideas concerning the various aspects of allergy (including related fields such as clinical immunology and environmental medicine) and promotes German allergy research in an international context. The aim of Allergo Journal International is to provide state of the art information for all medical and scientific disciplines that deal with allergic, immunological and environmental diseases. Allergo Journal International publishes original articles, reviews, short communications, case reports, and letters to the editor. The articles cover topics such as allergic, immunological and environmental diseases, the latest developments in diagnosis and therapy as well as current research work concerning antigens and allergens and aspects related to occupational and environmental medicine. In addition, it publishes clinical guidelines and position papers approved by expert panels of the German, Austrian and Swiss Allergy Societies. All submissions are reviewed in single-blind fashion by at least two reviewers. Originally, the journal started as a German journal called Allergo Journal back in 1992. Throughout the years, English articles amounted to a considerable portion in Allergo Journal. This was one of the reasons to extract the scientific content and publish it in a separate journal. Hence, Allergo Journal International was born and now is the international continuation of the original German journal. Nowadays, all original content is published in Allergo Journal International first. Later, selected manuscripts will be translated and published in German and included in Allergo Journal.
