| Some authors recognize anemophily as the principal pollination system for this family, while others indicate entomophily. |
| Corn is tasselling and although it is hot, the high humidity should prevent problems with pollination. |
| Pollination used both stored pollen and fresh pollen collected at the time of pollination from the plants whose tassels had remained attached. |
| A second explanation for the formation of seed in bagged hermaphroditic flowers can be apomixis, the formation of seed without pollination. |
| During pollination the female portion of the plant receives pollen from the tassel, resulting in fertilization of the ovule. |
| High temperature conditions commonly cause flower abscission and seed abortion because of pollination failure. |
