Question
Explain any three inbreeding devices in flowering plants.
✓
Answer
Following are the inbreeding devices:
- There is synchromy between pollen release and stigma-receptivity; i.e. the anthers and pistil mature simultaneously.
- The anthers and stigma lie close to each other in such a way that pollen from the anther can fall on the stigma.
- Cleistogamous flowers (the bisexual flowers which do not open at all) are produced by some plants.
