Open pollination

Index Open pollination

The terms "open pollination" and "open pollinated" refer to a variety of concepts in the context of the sexual reproduction of plants. [1]

22 relations: Biodiversity, Biological dispersal, Cleistogamy, F1 hybrid, Generation, Genetic recombination, Genetics, Greenhouse, Heirloom plant, Heirloom tomato, Heterosis, Inbreeding, Nature, Plant, Pollenizer, Pollination, Seed, Self-pollination, Species, Strain (biology), True-breeding organism, Wind.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity, a portmanteau of biological (life) and diversity, generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth.

Biological dispersal

Biological dispersal refers to both the movement of individuals (animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, etc.) from their birth site to their breeding site ('natal dispersal'), as well as the movement from one breeding site to another ('breeding dispersal').

Cleistogamy

Cleistogamy is a type of automatic self-pollination of certain plants that can propagate by using non-opening, self-pollinating flowers.

F1 hybrid

An F1 hybrid (or filial 1 hybrid) is the first filial generation of offspring of distinctly different parental types.

Generation

A generation is "all of the people born and living at about the same time, regarded collectively." It can also be described as, "the average period, generally considered to be about thirty years, during which children are born and grow up, become adults, and begin to have children of their own." In kinship terminology, it is a structural term designating the parent-child relationship.

Genetic recombination

Genetic recombination (aka genetic reshuffling) is the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent.

New!!: Open pollination and Genetic recombination · See more »

Genetics

Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.

New!!: Open pollination and Genetics · See more »

Greenhouse

A greenhouse (also called a glasshouse) is a structure with walls and roof made mainly of transparent material, such as glass, in which plants requiring regulated climatic conditions are grown.

Heirloom plant

An heirloom plant, heirloom variety, heritage fruit (Australia and New Zealand), or heirloom vegetable (especially in Ireland and the UK) is an old cultivar of a plant used for food that is grown and maintained by gardeners and farmers, particularly in isolated or ethnic minority communities of Western Countries.

Heirloom tomato

An heirloom tomato (also called heritage tomato in the UK) is an open-pollinated (non-hybrid) heirloom cultivar of tomato.

Heterosis

Heterosis, hybrid vigor, or outbreeding enhancement, is the improved or increased function of any biological quality in a hybrid offspring.

New!!: Open pollination and Heterosis · See more »

Inbreeding

Inbreeding is the production of offspring from the mating or breeding of individuals or organisms that are closely related genetically.

New!!: Open pollination and Inbreeding · See more »

Nature

Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe.

New!!: Open pollination and Nature · See more »

Plant

Plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.

New!!: Open pollination and Plant · See more »

Pollenizer

A pollenizer (or polleniser), sometimes pollinizer (or polliniser, see spelling differences) is a plant that provides pollen.

New!!: Open pollination and Pollenizer · See more »

Pollination

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from a male part of a plant to a female part of a plant, enabling later fertilisation and the production of seeds, most often by an animal or by wind.

New!!: Open pollination and Pollination · See more »

Seed

A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering.

New!!: Open pollination and Seed · See more »

Self-pollination

Self-pollination is when pollen from the same plant arrives at the stigma of a flower (in flowering plants) or at the ovule (in gymnosperms).

New!!: Open pollination and Self-pollination · See more »

Species

In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition.

New!!: Open pollination and Species · See more »

Strain (biology)

In biology, a strain is a low-level taxonomic rank used at the intraspecific level (within a species).

New!!: Open pollination and Strain (biology) · See more »

True-breeding organism

A true-breeding organism, sometimes also called a purebred, is an organism that always passes down certain phenotypic traits (i.e. physically expressed traits) to its offspring of many generations.

New!!: Open pollination and True-breeding organism · See more »

Wind

Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale.
