What is self pollination of plant?

Answer 1

Self-pollination is a form of pollination that can occur when a flower has both stamen and a carpel in which the cultivar or species is self fertile and the stamens and the sticky stigma of the carpel contact each other to accomplish pollination. The term is inaccurately used in many cases where an outside pollinator is actually required; such plants are merely self fertile, or self pollenizing.

Answer 2

Self-pollination of a plant is where a plant's pollen (from the anthers) lands on the same plant's stigma, causing it to pollinate itself. This is contrasted with cross-pollination which is where one plant's pollen lands on another plant's stigma. Plants often do specific things to avoid self-pollination if they can.

Answer 3

Self-pollination in plants is the process by which a plant pollinates itself, transferring pollen from the male reproductive parts to the female reproductive parts of the same plant. This can occur when a plant has both male and female reproductive organs or if the plant has mechanisms to prevent cross-pollination with other plants. Self-pollination can result in reduced genetic diversity but ensures reproductive success when pollinators are scarce.

Answer 4

Self pollination is the dropping of pollen on the stigma of the same flower that produced the pollen, thereby pollinating the flower.

Answer 5

A Self-Pollinating Plant is a plant that contains both male and female reproductive structures.

Answer 6

Self pollination is fertilization by transfer of pollen from the anthers to the stigma of the same flower.
