The process by which pollen is transferred from the pollen producing section of the plant to the pollen receiving part of the plant of the same flower or another flower of the same cultivar.
Fertilization of flowers by pollen from the same plant. The contrasting term is cross-pollination or outcrossing.
When the ovary of a flower is fertilized ( pollinated) by the pollen from the same flower. Flowers which are self-pollinated do not require pollinators. Because the flowers do not cross with other plants, all of the genetic material comes from a single parent.
This occurs when the pollen from one flower lands on the stigma of a flower on the same plant.
fertilization by transfer of pollen from the anthers to the stigma of the same flower
Plants that pollinate their own flowers. See also open-pollination.
The act of a single flower, or flower from the same plant, pollinating itself.
When pollination takes place within a single flower, usually before it opens. Other flowers or plants are not needed. Self-pollinating flowers are called "perfect flowers" because they contain the stamens that produce pollen and the pistil that receives the pollen. Isolation distance to prevent cross-pollination is not necessary unless insects are known to invade the flowers before pollination is complete.
The transference of pollen from anther to stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant.
The fertilization of the egg of a plant by its own pollen.
the transfer of pollen from an ther to stigma of the same plant.
Self-pollination is a form of pollination that can occur when a flower has both stamens and a pistil in which the cultivar or species is self fertile and the stamens and the sticky stigma of the pistil contact each other to accomplish pollination. The term is inaccurately used in many cases where an outside pollinator is actually required; such plants are merely self fertile, or self pollenizing.
