  • A
    Bud condition.
  • B

  • C
    Bending of filaments to bring anthers in contact with stigma.

In potato, male and female flowers mature at the same time $i.e$ it exhibits homogamy.
Pollination in potato flowers takes place by curling of style.
The style bends to bring the stigma in contact with the anthers and thus, pollens are deposited on the surface of the stigma.
