Autogamy and Xenogamy

Autogamy (self-pollination)
In self -pollination, bisexual flower is pollinated by it's own pollen grains.

Self-pollination does not depend upon external agents for pollination.

Self-pollination is economical as there is no wastage of pollen grains.

Offspring are genetically similar to their parents; e.g. pea.

Xenogamy (Cross-pollination)

In class pollination the pollen grains from the anther  are carried to the stigma of another flower of same species.

Cross pollination does depend upon external agents for pollination.

Cross pollination is not economical as there is wastage of pollen grains during transfer.

Offspring are genetically varied due to recombination.

E.g..Food and fibre crops -Maize, Rice.
