Summary:

Pollination is one of the most important processes in determining the diversity of plants, particularly in terms of their colors, fruit yield, and most other genetic factors. The mechanisms of pollination are very different depending on the type of plant, and they often rely on the activities of insects. Because of this diversity, pollination is greatly affected by the ecology of the environment in which the plant is growing. Hence detailed knowledge of the pollination process and how this can be affected by ecological factors is crucial to a wide range of people working with plants, from researchers to farmers. This book describes in detail the techniques used to study pollination mechanisms, thus providing the reader with all the necessary key information needed to carry out the experimental protocols provided.
