Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids spp.) is a wind-pollinated species that bears very small yet complete flowers. During crossing, a lack of pollen control (trimming off dehisced florets and hot water treatment) may result in both self-pollination (selfs) and unintentional pollination from stray pollen (off-types).

Detailed explanation-2: -Poales, grass order of flowering plants, containing the grass family (Poaceae), economically the most important order of plants, with a worldwide distribution in all climates. Poales contains more than 18, 000 species of monocotyledons (that is, flowering plants characterized by a single seed leaf).

Detailed explanation-3: -Wind pollinated plants include grasses and their cultivated cousins, the cereal crops, many trees, the infamous allergenic ragweeds, and others. All release billions of pollen grains into the air so that a lucky few will hit their targets.
