There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that they can fertilize themselves without a partner. A biological advantage of self-pollination, also known as "selfing", ...

Biologists provide evidence for an alternative genetic mechanism that can lead to plants becoming self-pollinators. There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that ...

Many flowering plants prevent inbreeding and increase genetic diversity by a process called self-incompatibility, in which pollination fails to set seed if the pollen is identified as its own by the ...
