Self-pollination-The process by which pollen is transferred from the pollen-producing section of the plant to the pollen-receiving part of the plant of the same flower.
Self-pollination A plant capable of pollinating its own flowers.
Self-sterile A plant not capable of reproducing with its own pollen.
To discourage self-pollination and promote cross-pollination, the pollinia typically are separated from the stigma (female part of the flower that receives the pollen) by a flap of tissue called the rostellum.
(Gr. kleistos, closed; gamos, marriage) the condition of having flowers which never open and self-pollination occurs, and the flowers are often small and inconspicuous.clone search for term- n.
Self-pollination occurs when the pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma on the same flower, from another flower on the same plant, or from a flower on another plant of the same variety.
Ideally the anthers of this flower are closed and there is no chance of self-pollination, and the success rate of hybridisation is greatly improved.
Second generation plants resulting from the self-pollination or interpollination of F1 plants.
Falcate
Usually refers to a leaf that's shaped like the blade of a sickle.
Dichogamy- In a perfect flower, maturation of stamens and pistils occurs at different times, thus preventing self-pollination.
Dioecious- Having staminate (male) flowers and pistillate (female) flowers on different plants of the same species.
CROSS POLLINATION - The transfer of pollen from the flower of one plant to the flower on a different plant. Many species require this to set seed. As opposed to self-pollination.
Breeders then "fix" that trait, making the new variety genetically identical through many generations of self-pollination.
