But the more ramets the larger the share of the pollen is lost depending on ineffective self-pollination.
One mechanism that limits self-pollination is that of self-incompatibility by which seeds are only produced by pollination from other plants.
This is not the same as self-pollination, despite the common claim that tomatoes do so.
An analysis of the genome-wide pattern of linkage disequilibrium suggested that self-pollination evolved roughly a million years ago or more.
Much of the seed production comes from self-pollination.
Crop breeding includes techniques such as plant selection with desirable traits, self-pollination and cross-pollination, and molecular techniques that genetically modify the organism.
If a being dependent on pollinating agents allows self-pollination to occur when bees and wind are nowhere to be found.
Hibiscus breeders do not preclude the possibility of self-pollination.
