Protogamy refers to the condition where the female reproductive organs of a plant mature before the male organs. This adaptation helps prevent self-fertilization and promotes cross-pollination, increasing genetic diversity. Share examples of protogamy in nature or discuss its significance in plant breeding.

Protandry is a term used in biology to describe a situation where the male reproductive organs of a plant or animal mature before the female organs. This adaptation helps to reduce self-fertilization and encourages cross-pollination or cross-fertilization, which can increase genetic diversity.

Let’s discuss the differences between protandry and protogyny in flowering plants. How do these adaptations benefit plant species? Share your insights, relevant examples, or any doubts you have about these important botanical terms.
