  2. Seed dispersal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_dispersal

    In spermatophyte plants, seed dispersal is the movement, spread or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. [1] Plants have limited mobility and rely upon a variety of dispersal vectors to transport their seeds, including both abiotic vectors, such as the wind, and living ( biotic ) vectors such as birds.

  3. Biological dispersal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_dispersal

    The patterns of seed dispersal are determined in large part by the specific dispersal mechanism, and this has important implications for the demographic and genetic structure of plant populations, as well as migration patterns and species interactions. There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrmecochory

    Afzelia africana seeds bearing elaiosomes Chelidonium majus diaspores consisting of hard-coated seeds and attached elaiosomes. Myrmecochory (/ m ɜːr m ɪ ˈ k ɒ k ɔː r i / (sometimes myrmechory); [1] from Ancient Greek: μύρμηξ, romanized: mýrmēks ("ant") and χορεία khoreíā ("circular dance") is seed dispersal by ants, an ecologically significant ant–plant interaction ...

  5. Dispersal vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersal_vector

    In leptosporangiate ferns, the fern catapults its spores 1-2 cm so they can be picked up by a second dispersal vector, often the wind. [4]Autochory is the dispersal of diaspores, which are dispersal units consisting of seeds or spores, using only the energy provided by the diaspore or the parent plant. [5]

  6. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

    It is uncommon for pathogens to be transmitted from the plant to its seeds (in sexual reproduction or in apomixis), though there are occasions when it occurs. [2] [page needed] Seeds generated by apomixis are a means of asexual reproduction, involving the formation and dispersal of seeds that do not originate from the fertilization of the embryos.

  8. Diplochory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplochory

    Diplochory, also known as “secondary dispersal”, “indirect dispersal” or "two-phase dispersal", is a seed dispersal mechanism in which a plant's seed is moved sequentially by more than one dispersal mechanism or vector. [1]
