What is meaning of unwettable pollen grains in hydrophily flowers
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 4 years, 10 months ago

Pollen grains have the same specific gravity as that of water. Therefore pollens can float below the surface of the water. When pollens reach the stigma, they coiled around it and germinate. Hydrophily is a fairly uncommon form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by the flow of waters, particularly in rivers and streams. Hydrophilous species fall into two categories: (i) Those that distribute their pollen to the surface of the water. e.g. Vallisneria's male flower or pollen grain are released on the surface of the water, which are passively carried away by water currents; some of them eventually reach the female flower (ii) Those that distribute it beneath the surface. e.g. seagrasses in which female flower remain submerged in water and pollen grains are released inside the water.
