Flower tutorials - 03 - pollination

transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a plant. Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred in plants, thereby enabling fertilization and sexual reproduction. ...pollinator - an insect that carries pollen from one flower to another. The study of pollination brings together many disciplines, such as botany, horticulture, entomology, and ecology. The pollination process as an interaction between flower and vector was first addressed in the 18th century by Christian Konrad Sprengel. It is important in horticulture and agriculture, because fruiting is dependent on fertilisation, which is the end result of pollination.

Pollination can be accomplished by cross-pollination or by self-pollination.
