selvbestøvede
Selvbestøvede, also known as self-pollinated, refers to the process by which a plant pollinates itself without the need for external agents such as insects, wind, or other animals. This type of pollination is common in many plant species, particularly those that are wind-pollinated or self-compatible. In self-pollination, the pollen from the anthers of a flower is transferred to the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant. This process can occur through various mechanisms, including the movement of pollen grains by the wind, the shaking of the plant, or the physical contact of the flower's parts.
Self-pollination is advantageous for plants in several ways. It ensures genetic diversity within a single plant,
However, self-pollination also has its limitations. It can lead to inbreeding, which may result in a decrease
In agriculture, self-pollinated plants are often preferred for their reliability and consistency. They can produce seeds
