3.Mechanism of Self & Cross Pollination
Mechanism of Self Pollination |
Chasmogamy |
Flowers open but only after pollination has taken place. Example:- Rice, Moong, Oat etc. |
Cleistogamy |
Flowers do not open Example:- Wheat, Barley etc. |
Bisexuality |
Male and female organs present on the same flower is known as bisexuality. All the self pollinated plants have hermaphrodite flowers |
Homogamy |
Anthers and stigma of a flower matured at the same time |
Position of Anthers |
|
Mechanism of Cross Pollination |
Dicliny |
It refers to unisexual flowers. This is of two types:- (i) monoecy (ii) dioecy.
1. Monoecy:- When male and female flowers are separate but present in the same plants, it is known as monoecy Example:- Mango, Castor and Banana Cucurbits, Grapes, Strawberry, Cassava and Rubber. 2. Dioecy:– When staminate and pistillate in flowers are present on different plants, it is called dioecy. Example:- papaya, date palm, spinach, hemp and asparagus. |
Dichogamy |
Male and female flowers of a hermoprodite flowers matures at diferent time. Two types of Dichogamy
|
Heterostyly |
Heteroslyly refer as different lengths of styles and filaments in a flower. like linseed. |
Herkogamy |
Some physical barriers prevent self pollination is called herkogamy. Example:- Alfalfa |
Self incompatibility |
|
Male sterility |
