Explore: Cross Pollination

flowering plants. Self-pollination occurs within a closed flower. Pollination often occurs within a species. When pollination occurs between species,

term cross-pollination is used for the opposite case, where pollen from one plant moves to a different plant. There are two types of self-pollination: in

stigma of a different plant. This is the only type of cross pollination which during pollination brings genetically different types of pollen grains to

to self-pollinate while dioecious plants should be most likely to cross-pollinate. Zoophily, or animal pollination, is a method of pollination which utilizes

trees, do not produce fruit from self-pollination, so pollinizer trees are planted in orchards. The pollination process requires a carrier for the pollen

Hand-pollination, also known as mechanical pollination, is a technique that can be used to pollinate plants when natural or open pollination is either

male and female parts of flowers in pollination. Pollination can occur between different plants, as in cross-pollination, or between flowers on the same plant

carry out artificial pollination. A pollinator is different from a pollenizer, a plant that is a source of pollen for the pollination process. Plants fall

as cross-feeding. Service-resource relationships are common. Three important types are pollination, cleaning symbiosis, and zoochory. In pollination, a

seeds that are small and round in shape. Self-pollination is impossible, and plants are cross-pollinated by insects. The initial leaves form a rosette
