              Usage of self-pollination in English
              1
              It is true that the phenomena observed in self-pollination, e.g.

              In the majority of plants self-pollination occurs.

              The molecular mechanisms that lead to stigmas at different developmental stages having different responses to self-pollination are yet unknown.

              Just as in some orchids and cleistogamic flowers self-pollination regularly occurs, so it may also occur in other cases.

              These alone become weaker by self-pollination; while pure species derive no advantage from crossing and no disadvantage from self-fertilisation.

              The end product has the ability to reproduce itself through self-pollination because the rice plant flowers contain both the male and female organs.

              The existence of plants for which self-pollination is of greater importance than it is for others is by no means contradictory to Darwin's view.

              Eleven second-generation lines of Fragaria viridis with different compatibility were obtained by manual self-pollination, which can be displayed directly by the level of fruit-set rate.

              All adaptations to cross-pollination might also be of use simply because they made pollination possible when for any reason self-pollination had become difficult or impossible.
