|
heterosporous |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Producing two types of spore, microspore and megaspore, which are sexually distinct and usually different in size, each megaspore giving rise to a megagametophyte, each microspore to a microgametophyte. |
|
allomictic |
= allogamous, cross-fertilizing, exogamous, xenogamous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from different plants. |
|
gynodioecious |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Having some plants with only bisexual flowers and some with only pistillate ones. |
|
anemophilous |
= wind-pollinated |
reproduction |
plant, strobilus, flower |
Having the pollen normally transported between strobili or flowers by air currents. |
|
gynomonoecious |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Having all plants with both bisexual flowers and pistillate ones. |
|
monocarpic |
= hapaxanthic |
reproduction |
plant |
Normally reproducing sexually only once, then promptly senescent. |
|
autogamous |
= automictic, idiogamous, self-fertilizing, selfing; > geitonogamous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from the same plant. |
|
automictic |
= autogamous, idiogamous, self-fertilizing, selfing; > geitonogamous, |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from the same plant. |
|
diclinous |
> dioecious, monoecious |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having all flowers functionally unisexual. See also monoclinous (synoecious). |
|
chasmogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth open at anthesis, allowing deposit of pollen from other flowers (physiological receptivity aside). |
|
polycarpic |
|
reproduction |
plant |
Normally fruiting repeatedly prior to senescence. |
|
wind-pollinated |
= anemophilous |
reproduction |
plant, strobilus, flower |
Having the pollen normally transported between strobili or flowers by air currents. |
|
geitonogamous |
< autogamous, automictic, idiogamous, self-fertilizing, selfing |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from different flowers on the same plant. |
|
trigamous |
|
reproduction |
inflorescence |
Bearing flowers of three differing sexual constitutions; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
cleistogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth remaining closed through anthesis, preventing deposit of pollen from other flowers, thus only self-pollination possible. |
|
proliferous |
|
reproduction |
plant, structure |
Bearing plantlets, as from the leaf margin in some Kalanchoë (Crassulaceae). |
|
exogamous |
= allogamous, allomictic, cross-fertilizing, xenogamous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from different plants. |
|
polygamodioecious |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Basically dioecious but with some plants bearing some bisexual flowers. |
|
male |
= masculine |
reproduction |
|
Of the sex that produces microspores and sperm. |
|
polygamomonoecious |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Basically monoecious but with some or all plants bearing some bisexual flowers. |
|
apogamous |
< apomictic, asexual |
reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Producing new sporophytes from the gametophytes asexually, without intervening fertilization (or gametes). |
|
sterile |
|
reproduction |
plant, reproductive structure |
Not producing functional spores, gametes, pollen, ovules, seeds, or other propagules. |
|
female |
= feminine |
reproduction |
|
Of the sex that produces megaspores and ova. |
|
amphimictic |
|
reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Reproducing sexually. |
|
self-fertilizing |
= autogamous, automictic, idiogamous, selfing; > geitonogamous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from the same plant. |
