2.Method of Self & Cross pollination
| Method of Self pollination | Method of Cross pollination |
| Mass selection | Mass selection |
| Pure line selection method | Progeny selection |
| Pedigree method | Recurrent selection |
| Single seed descent method | Hybrid varieties |
| Back cross method | Synthetic varieties |
| Bulk method |
3.Mechanism of Self & Cross Pollination
| Mechanism of Self Pollination |
| Chasmogamy |
| Flowers open but only after pollination has taken place. Example:- Rice, Moong, Oat etc. |
| Cleistogamy |
| Flowers do not open Example:- Wheat, Barley etc. |
| Bisexuality |
| Male and female organs present on the same flower is known as bisexuality. All the self pollinated plants have hermaphrodite flowers |
| Homogamy |
| Anthers and stigma of a flower matured at the same time |
| Position of Anthers |
|
| Mechanism of Cross Pollination |
| Dicliny |
| It refers to unisexual flowers. This is of two types:- (i) monoecy (ii) dioecy.
1. Monoecy:- When male and female flowers are separate but present in the same plants, it is known as monoecy Example:- Mango, Castor and Banana Cucurbits, Grapes, Strawberry, Cassava and Rubber. 2. Dioecy:– When staminate and pistillate in flowers are present on different plants, it is called dioecy. Example:- papaya, date palm, spinach, hemp and asparagus. |
| Dichogamy |
Male and female flowers of a hermoprodite flowers matures at diferent time. Two types of Dichogamy
|
| Heterostyly |
| Heteroslyly refer as different lengths of styles and filaments in a flower. like linseed. |
| Herkogamy |
| Some physical barriers prevent self pollination is called herkogamy. Example:- Alfalfa |
| Self incompatibility |
|
| Male sterility |
