  2. Self-pollination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-pollination

    Self-pollination is a form of pollination in which pollen arrives at the stigma of a flower (in flowering plants) or at the ovule (in gymnosperms) of the same plant. The term cross-pollination is used for the opposite case, where pollen from one plant moves to a different plant.

  3. Autogamy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogamy

    About 10–15% of flowering plants are predominantly self-fertilizing. [9] 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 ...

  4. Cleistogamy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleistogamy

    Cleistogamy is a type of automatic self-pollination of certain plants that can propagate by using non-opening, self-pollinating flowers. Especially well known in peanuts, peas, and pansies, this behavior is most widespread in the grass family. However, the largest genus of cleistogamous plants is Viola. [1]

  5. Geitonogamy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geitonogamy

    Geitonogamy (from Greek geiton (γείτων) = neighbor + gamein (γαμεῖν) = to marry) is a type of self-pollination. [1] Geitonogamous pollination is sometimes distinguished from the fertilizations that can result from it, geitonogamy. [2] If a plant is self-incompatible, geitonogamy can reduce seed production.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollination

    The most essential staple food crops on the planet, like wheat, maize, rice, soybeans and sorghum [55] [56] are wind pollinated or self pollinating. When considering the top 15 crops contributing to the human diet globally in 2013, slightly over 10% of the total human diet of plant crops (211 out of 1916 kcal/person/day) is dependent upon ...

  7. Selfing syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selfing_Syndrome

    Selfing syndrome refers to plants that are autogamous and display a complex of characteristics associated with self-pollination. [1] The term was first coined by Adrien Sicard and Michael Lenhard in 2011, but was first described in detail by Charles Darwin in his book “The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilisation in the Vegetable Kingdom” (1876), making note that the flowers of self ...
