Self-pollination occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower, or another flower on the same plant. Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species. Self-pollination occurs in flowers where the stamen and carpel mature at the same time.

Two broad strategies for dealing with change are to conform or regulate. Conforming is when an organism allows their internal environment to fluctuate with the external environment. Regulating is when an organism attempts to regulate or maintain a constant internal environment despite any environmental fluctuations. Both approaches have procs and cons, leading to the diversity of organisms we see on earth.

ABA is essential for various stress responses, including closing stomata during drought, protecting against dehydration, and regulating seed dormancy. It aids in root growth, leaf, and fruit abscission, and influences seedling growth and apical dominance by inhibiting lateral bud development, underscoring its importance for plant survival in challenging environments.

Many temperate seeds require cold to overcome germination inhibitors. In dicots, the primary root and hypocotyl emerge with cotyledons shielding the plumule, while monocots like corn and oats grow their primary root downwards and primary leaf upwards, protected by a coleoptile. The mechanisms of germination are crucial for plant survival and growth.
