Wind-pollinated plants typically have their anthers positioned outside the flowers, often on long filaments, to facilitate the release of pollen into the air. This arrangement maximizes exposure to wind, allowing pollen to be easily carried to other flowers. Additionally, these plants often produce large quantities of lightweight pollen to increase the chances of successful fertilization.
Wind pollinated flowers usually have light seeds, with some kind of method for being carried on the wind, like helicopter seeds have big 'sails' which are blown over long distances in the wind
The lalang plant is primarily pollinated by wind, as it produces anthers that release pollen grains that are carried by air currents to reach the stigmas of other lalang plants for fertilization. This form of pollination is known as anemophily.
The advantage is anthers can pollinate by wind more easily.
Dahlias are pollinated by wind, insects or gardeners.
Having the anther atop a tall filament increases the chances of pollen being carried away by wind or by pollinators such as bees or butterflies. This positioning also reduces the likelihood of self-pollination and promotes cross-pollination, increasing genetic diversity within the plant population.
yes
In wind-pollinated flowers, the filament of the stamen is usually longer than the style on the pistil. This is to ensure that the anthers, which are located at the top of the stamen, are well-exposed to the wind for efficient pollen dispersal. The style, on the other hand, does not need to be as long because wind pollination does not require precision in pollen transfer.

yes the anthers hand outside the flower on long filaments on a wind pollinated plant so the pollen is not enclosed, and so it is easily carried away by the wind
