- In self pollinated crops, hybrid vigour is not just like the cross pollinated crop e.g maize.
- cross pollination in self pollinated crop produce low seed set and cost of hybrid seed increases.
- less cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restorer gene in mostly self pollinated crop.
What else can I help you with?
What are the reasons why crops are normally self pollinated?
Because the majority of crops (cereal crops) are wind pollinated.
Is a sampaguita self or cross pollinated?
self pollinated
What happens when most cross-pollinated crops are self-pollinated for several generations?
you'd get a uniform genetic composition for good or bad. you can get a uniform crop or you may get inbreeding problems
Why is corn a cross pollinated crop?
Because when corn self-pollinates over a few generations it becomes an inbred, and loses vigor, size, and overall plant health. So to keep the plants healthy they need to be either hybrids or open-pollinated so that most of the silks get pollinated by a different plant.
How do the sunflowers become pollinated?
they are self-pollinated!!
How is a barley pollinated?
Barley is predominantly self-pollinated, aided by the wind..
Is a sampaguita self-pollinated or cross-pollinated?
Sampaguita is primarily cross-pollinated, where the transfer of pollen occurs between different flowers by insects like bees. In some cases, self-pollination can also occur within the same flower when the pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma.
Is sesame a self pollinated or cross pollinated crop?
Sesame is primarily a self-pollinated crop, as it has perfect flowers that contain both male and female reproductive organs. However, some cross-pollination may occur due to wind or insects.
Are strawberries hybrids?
Yes they are. 1) Overall, most strawberries are self-pollinating. Pollination of the same species will yield the same species (true-breeding). 2) Most strawberries can be cross-pollinated. One species of strawberries crossed with another species of strawberries (cross-breeding), which then yields hybrids. A mixture of both parents.
Can cilantro be self pollinated?
Cilantro is a self-fertile plant, which means it has the ability to self-pollinate. However, it is primarily wind-pollinated, so cross-pollination can also occur with the help of insects.
List of self pollinated crop plant?
TomatoesPineapplePeanutsGreen PeppersSweet PeasGreen beansChili PeppersEggplantOranges(all legumes, for example old world "broad beans")Many others are wind-pollinated, and almost no crops on earth depend purely on honeybees, most are more efficiently pollinated by some other insect or creature.
Is anther above stigma in self pollinated plants?
Yes
