  2. Monocotyledon reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocotyledon_reproduction

    Self-compatible (SC) pollination systems are less common than self-incompatibile cross-pollination systems in angiosperms. [11] However, when the probability of cross-pollination is too low it can be advantageous to self-pollinate. Self-pollination is known to be favored in some orchids, rices, and Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae).

  3. Pollination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollination

    Ornithophily or bird pollination is the pollination of flowering plants by birds. Chiropterophily or bat pollination is the pollination of flowering plants by bats. Plants adapted to use bats or moths as pollinators typically have white petals, strong scent and flower at night, whereas plants that use birds as pollinators tend to produce ...

  4. Pollen tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollen_tube

    Mechanism to prevent self pollination and allowing compatible pollen to grow a pollen tube for fertilization to take place. Once the pollen grain is recognized and hydrated, the pollen grain germinates to grow a pollen tube. [11] There is competition in this step as many pollen grains may compete to reach the egg.

  5. Pollinator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollinator

    Plants fall into pollination syndromes that reflect the type of pollinator being attracted. These are characteristics such as: overall flower size, the depth and width of the corolla, the color (including patterns called nectar guides that are visible only in ultraviolet light), the scent, amount of nectar, composition of nectar, etc. [2] For example, birds visit red flowers with long, narrow ...

  6. Self-incompatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-incompatibility

    One particularly interesting case is the Prunus SI systems, which functions through self-recognition [15] (the cytotoxic activity of the S-RNAses is inhibited by default and selectively activated by the pollen partner SFB upon self-pollination), [where "SFB" is a term that stands "for S-haplotype-specific F-box protein", as explained ...

  7. Autogamy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogamy

    Self-pollination is an example of autogamy that occurs in flowering plants. Self-pollination occurs when the sperm in the pollen from the stamen of a plant goes to the carpels of that same plant and fertilizes the egg cell present. Self-pollination can either be done completely autogamously or geitonogamously. In the former, the egg and sperm ...

  8. Pollen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollen

    Pollen itself is not the male gamete. [4] It is a gametophyte, something that could be considered an entire organism, which then produces the male gamete.Each pollen grain contains vegetative (non-reproductive) cells (only a single cell in most flowering plants but several in other seed plants) and a generative (reproductive) cell.

  9. Self-pollination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-pollination

    However, self-pollination can be advantageous, allowing plants to spread beyond the range of suitable pollinators or produce offspring in areas where pollinator populations have been greatly reduced or are naturally variable. [1] Pollination can also be accomplished by cross-pollination. Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen, by wind or ...
