    Juvenility Flower Bud Differentation

    topicwise solution
    Juvenility refers to the initial stage of a plant's development when it cannot produce flowers. This stage can last from a few days to over 30 years depending on the plant type. Flower bud differentiation is when flower parts develop following initiation, taking a few days to over a year. Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same or different flower. Fertilization occurs after successful pollination and involves the fusion of male and female gametes. Pollinizers provide compatible pollen at the same flowering time as the plant being pollinated, while pollinators are the biotic agents like insects and animals that transfer pollen between flowers.

    Juvenility, Flower Bud Differentiation,

    Pollination, Fertilization,
    Pollinizers and Pollinators
    Juvenility
    • Juvenility is the period in which a plant cannot
    produce flowers.
    • It occurs in the initial stage of a plant.
    • In this stage the development of new parts
    takes place.
    • It can last up to 20-30 days and can go up to
    30-40 years depending upon the type of plant.
    • It can be considered as childhood phase of a
    plant.
    Flower Bud Differentiation
    • Development of flower parts following initiation.
    • Flower differentiation can take from only a few days in annual
    plants to 4-11 months in fruit crops.
    • Flower induction is the physiological process in the plant by
    which the shoot apical meristem becomes competent to
    develop flowers.
    • Usually Flower differentiation takes place after flower
    induction. (with some notable exceptions such as in kiwifruit,
    where the two processes are separated)
    • Flower induction can be reversed, but flower differentiation is
    irreversible, because anatomical changes are in place.
    Pollination
    • Pollination is a process of transferring of pollens
    from one flower to another.
    • Fertilization is the process after the successful
    transfer of pollination, which involves the fusion
    of male gametes and female gametes of plants.
    • Both of these are the natural process.
    • But only flowering plants undergo the process of
    pollination, while fertilization is the common
    process of almost all living being.
    Difference between
    Pollination and Fertilization
    Particulars Pollination Fertilization
    Meaning The process of transfer of pollen It involves the union of the male
    from the male parts (anther) of a gamete (sperm) and female gamete
    flower to the female part (stigma) of (egg).
    the same or different flower is called
    as pollination.
    Kind of It is an external mechanism and takes It is an internal mechanism and takes
    mechanism place on the outer part of a flower. place inside the flowers.
    Time of Pollination takes place before Fertilization takes place after
    process fertilization. pollination.

    It occurs in Pollination occurs in flowering plants Fertilization is followed by almost


    only. every plant and living being present
    on earth.

    Factors factors).
    Pollinizer
    • A polarizer (or polleniser or Pollinizer ), is a plant
    that provides pollen.
    • A pollinizer provides abundant, compatible, and
    viable pollen at the same flowering time as the
    pollinated plant.
    • For example, most crab apple varieties are good
    pollenizers for any apple tree that blooms at the
    same time, and are often used in apple orchards for
    the purpose.
    Pollinator
    • A pollinator is the biotic agent that moves the pollen, such
    as bees, moths, bats and birds. An animal may also act as a
    pollinator. Bees are thus often referred to as “pollinating
    insects”.
    • Insect pollinators include bees, (honey bees, solitary
    species, bumblebees); pollen wasps (Masarinae); ants; flies
    including bee flies, hoverflies and mosquitoes;
    lepidopteron, both butterflies and moths;
    and flower beetles.
    • Fig wasps: The fig would not exist without the fig wasp. The
    wasp pollinates the fig when the female lays her eggs in the
    developing fruit. She picks up pollen on her ovipositor and
    then transfers it to a new plant as she lays eggs.
    • In Mango, the common House Fly “ Musca domestica” act a
    pollinator.
