   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_methods_in_plant...

   Plant species where normal mode of seed set is through a high degree of cross-pollination have characteristic reproductive features and population structure. Existence of self-sterility, [1] self-incompatibility, imperfect flowers, and mechanical obstructions make the plant dependent upon foreign pollen for normal seed set. Each plant receives ...

4. Pollination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollination

   Plants adapted for cross-pollination have several mechanisms to prevent self-pollination; the reproductive organs may be arranged in such a way that self-fertilisation is unlikely, or the stamens and carpels may mature at different times. [8] Self-pollination occurs when pollen from one flower pollinates the same flower or other flowers of the ...

5. Xenogamy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenogamy

   Cross-pollination involves the transfer of pollen grains from the flower of one plant to the stigma of the flower of another plant. The main characteristics which facilitate cross-pollination are: Herkogamy : Flowers possess some mechanical barrier on their stigmatic surface to avoid self-pollination, e.g. presence of gynostegium and pollinia ...

8. Pollinator - Wikipedia

   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 ...

9. Fruit tree pollination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_tree_pollination

   Trees that are cross-pollinated or pollinated via an insect pollinator produce more fruit than trees with flowers that just self-pollinate. [1] In fruit trees, bees are an essential part of the pollination process for the formation of fruit. [2] Pollination of fruit trees around the world has been highly studied for hundreds of years. [1] Much ...
