🌸Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male reproductive part of a flower to the female reproductive part, leading to fertilization and seed production.
🌬️Wind pollination occurs in flowers with lightweight pollen grains and feathery stigmas. These adaptations help pollen grains to be carried by the wind to female flowers.
🐝Insect pollination involves the attraction of insects through colorful petals and nectar. Pollen grains stick to the bodies of insects and are transported to other flowers.
🔐Plants have developed outbreeding devices to prevent self-pollination, such as self-incompatibility systems, dichogamy, and herkogamy.
🍇Fruits develop from the ovaries of flowers after successful pollination and fertilization. Some fruits, like pods, can develop from other floral parts.
