Some plants have a hermaphrodite trait while other do not. This trait can be activated through any number of processes and conditions, generally this trait turns on when the plant undergoes stress.

Is a jasmine a cross-pollinating flower or a self pollinating flower?

Jasmine plants are generally self-pollinating, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs within the same flower and can fertilize themselves without the need for cross-pollination from another plant.


What can a self-pollinating plant do?

Plants do not have eggs, they have seeds, but yes, plants can pollinate their own seeds.


Are red lake currant plants self pollinating?

No, red lake currant plants are not self-pollinating. They require cross-pollination by insects such as bees to produce fruit successfully. Planting multiple currant plants nearby can help ensure proper pollination.


Could a flower self pollinating?

Yes, there are many self-pollinating vegetables, including most beans, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, lentils, and more.


In some plants the pistils don't form until a few days after the stamens do how might this plant keep a plant from self-pollinating?

For a flower to be pollinated, pollen from an anther (which is located at the top of the stamen) needs to reach a stigma (at the top of the pistle.) Some plants are genetically capable of pollinating themselves if their own pollen reaches their own stigma; some plants are not capable of self pollination under any circumstances. For plants that can genetically self pollinate, but would prefer not to, they can avoid this by having their pistil and pollen/stames mature at different times. If the stamens mature first, the pollen will be dispersed by animals or wind or whatever dispersal mechanism it relies on. Then by the time the pistil is ready to be pollinated, there is no pollen left in that flower to land on the stigma.

Do bees kill plants?

Bees do not kill plants. In fact, bees play a critical role in pollinating plants, which helps them reproduce and produce fruits and seeds. Bees collect nectar and pollen from plants to feed themselves and their colonies.

What is reproduction without seeds?

Pollination. Pollinating with two plants is Cross Pollination. Pollinating with one plant is called Self Pollination.


Will diatomaceous earth keep bees from pollinating garden plants such as tomatoes?

It will kill bees. Avoid sprinkling on flowers. You may get some pollination but you'll be killing the wonderful bees.

How do self-pollinating squash plants ensure successful pollination without the need for external pollinators?

Self-pollinating squash plants have both male and female parts in the same flower, allowing them to pollinate themselves without the help of external pollinators like bees. This ensures successful pollination and the production of fruit without relying on other organisms for the process.


How do cats know not to eat poisonous plants?

Cats have a natural instinct to avoid eating plants that are toxic to them. They may recognize the smell or taste of poisonous plants and instinctively avoid them to protect themselves from harm.
