WHAT DOES CROSS-POLLINATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cross-pollination

Pollination

Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred from the anther (male part) to the stigma (female part) of the Plant, thereby enabling fertilization and reproduction.This takes place in the angiosperms, the flower bearing plants. In spite of a common perception that pollen grains are gametes, like the sperm cells of animals, this is incorrect; pollination is a phase in the alternation of generations. Each pollen grain is a male haploid gametophyte, adapted to being transported to the female gametophyte, where it can effect fertilization by producing the male gamete (or gametes), in the process of double fertilization). A successful angiosperm pollen grain (gametophyte) containing the male gametes gets transported to the stigma, where it germinates and its pollen tube grows down the style to the ovary. Its two gametes travel down the tube to where the gametophyte(s) containing the female gametes are held within the carpel. One nucleus fuses with the polar bodies to produce the endosperm tissues, and the other with the ovule to produce the embryo Hence the term: "double fertilization".
