SELFING<br />

Selfing is <strong>the</strong> ability for a plant to<br />

produce seeds without <strong>the</strong> aid of ano<strong>the</strong>r plant.<br />

This refers to hermaphrodite plants that selfpollinate.<br />

There is no such thing as a ‘gene<br />

pool’ or population with regards to<br />

hermaphrodites since <strong>the</strong> only pollen that a<br />

hermaphrodite will use is <strong>the</strong> pollen that it<br />

generates itself. Both male and female flowers<br />

are located on <strong>the</strong> same plant. There can be<br />

variations in <strong>the</strong> offspring though.<br />

It is impossible for a hermaphrodite to<br />

create any male only plants. A hermaphrodite<br />

may create female only seeds and hermaphrodite<br />

seeds. Also <strong>the</strong> female only seeds may carry <strong>the</strong><br />

hermaphrodite trait.<br />
