Knowing the normal mode of pollination of any crop can accelerate crop improvement works because plant breeding methods are pollination type-dependent. Proper cultural management practices, such as in relation to pests and diseases control and biodiversity, can be identified to favor populations of anim...
Insects are the major agents of pollination, seed predation, or seed dispersal in many ecosystems. Pollination and seed dispersal are among the most intricate mutualisms between animals and plants and have been studied widely from the perspective of coevolution. Pollination is an important means of ...
The ovules of flowering plants are stored in a hollow body called the pistil, and pollen is deposited on the stigma’s surface. In simple words, pollination is the reproduction process in plants. Let us understand the process of pollination with some examples in this article. What is Pollination?
34. Insects X and Y are agents of pollination.Insects X have a good sense of smell but cannot recognise the colour red.Insects Y, on the other hand, have a poor sense of smell and have no problen recognising the colour red.Luke went into his garden and made the following observations:...
Pollination is the process of reproduction in plants. During pollination, pollen, or plant sperm, is taken from the stamen to the flower of a female plant. This process requires at least one agent of pollination to move the pollen between male and female flowers....
Characterization of pollination mechanisms, methods for quantifying the importance of bees in pollinating oilseed crops, and the key parameters governing pollinator–plant interaction and management protocols for both honey bees and natural pollinators have been elucidated.

Types and agents of pollination are analyzed inK. FaegriandL. van der Pijl,The Principles of Pollination Ecology, 3rd rev. ed. (1979), a well-balanced work based on extensive experience in both tropical and temperate regions;Michael ProctorandPeter Yeo,The Pollination of Flowers(1973), an exc...
However, in recent years, the predictive applicability of pollination syndromes has been frequently questioned. The accuracy of the syndromes among the closely related plant species may vary temporally and spatially. This suggests the need for the standardized, comprehensive evaluation of factors ...

Ecosystem services such as pollination and biocontrol may be severely affected by emerging nano/micro-plastics (NMP) pollution. Here, we synthesize the little-known effects of NMP on pollinators and biocontrol agents on the organismal, farm and landscape
