Definitions for "Autogamy"
Self-fertilization, the fertilizing pollen being derived from the same blossom as the pistil acted upon.
"fertilization" between two daughter gametes of the same gametocyte. Typically this occurs without complete separation. That is, the nucleus of the diploid or tetraploid gametocyte divides without DNA synthesis and without complete cytokinesis (complete separation of daughter cells). The resulting cell then behaves like a zygote resulting from fertilization.
aut- + -gamy, Gr. -gamia, fr, gamos, marriage) self-fertilization, pollination of a flower by its own pollen.
