The following points highlight thirteen methods to overcome self-incompatibility in plants. The methods are: 1. Bud Pollination 2. Mixed Pollination 3. Deferred Pollination 4. Test Tube Pollination 5. Stub Pollination 6. Intra-Ovarian Pollination 7. In Vitro Pollination 8. Use of Mentor Pollen 9. Elevated Temperature Treatment 10. Irradiation 11. Surgical Method 12. Application of Chemicals 13. Protoplast Fusion. Method # [...]
Self-incompatibility system can be divided into two basic groups: 1. Heteromorphic Systems 2. Homomorphic Systems. Group # 1. Heteromorphic Incompatibility: This incompatibility refers to those plants where the same species produces more than one morphological types of flower, where the relative length of the style (distyly and tristyly) and stamens differ. In distyly the plants produce two forms of flowers, [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Pollen Wall Adaptations 2. Harmomegathic Adaptation 3. Adaptation to Habitat 4. Adaptation to Mode of Pollination The Sporoderm structure, its chemical constituents and the diverse aperture types of pollen grains, has possibly developed as a need to adaptation in response to their respective habitats and mode of pollination. It has been seen [...]
