Palynology, one science of plant's pollen and spores, has been proven to be a new frontier discipline. Because of the characteristics of pollen and spores, such as small size, light weight, large amount, and difficult to be found, they can leave physical evidence and provide new clues to solve a case. Therefore palynology has a good prospect for practical application in forensic medicine. The paper intends to analyze the advantage and limitation of palynology in forensic medicine by reviewing its general characteristics, classification, morphology, and disseminating circadian rhythm. We hope to provide some reference to apply palynology in forensic medicine.
孢粉学作为研究植物花粉和孢子的一门科学，已被证明是一门新兴的前沿学科。由于花粉和孢子具有体积小、重量轻、数量多且难以发现的特点，它们能够留下物证并为破案提供新线索。因此，孢粉学在法医学中的实际应用前景广阔。本文旨在通过回顾孢粉学的一般特征、分类、形态学和传播昼夜节律，分析其在法医学中的优势和局限性。我们希望能为孢粉学在法医学中的应用提供一些参考。
