Detailed explanation-1: -Among other plants that can self-pollinate are many kinds of orchids, peas, sunflowers and tridax. Most of the self-pollinating plants have small, relatively inconspicuous flowers that shed pollen directly onto the stigma, sometimes even before the bud opens.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants that produce perfect flowers may be able to self-pollinate, though some still benefit from contact with pollinators. For example, although tomato plants produce complete flowers, these flowers require a bit of movement to release the pollen from the male parts onto the female parts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Self-pollination can be observed in legumes such as orchids, sunflowers, peas, peanuts, oats, peaches, potatoes, wheat, and others.
Detailed explanation-4: -Many, but not all, crops are self-pollinating. This includes: beans), broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, corn, kohlrabi, onions, and peppers. Fruit trees also self-pollinate including apples, cherries, peaches, and pears.
Detailed explanation-5: -Self pollination involves the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant. Self pollination is also termed autogamy.
