Pollination and germination
Can anyone recommend a book on the processes involved in pollination and germination? Well, obviously, but there is a problem. I come from the era when biology was not compulsory (and, in my case, was not available) and did NONE at school. Notwithstanding that, I have plenty of mathematics and physics, and have picked up a pretty fair amount of biology and some chemistry and biochemistry. Assume someone who got relevant O-levels (i.e. examinations at 16), a mediocre A-level in biology (at 18) and sat through some of the first year lectures in biology and botany before dropping out. Now I want to find out about pollination and germination processes, especially in angiosperms, including some of the details of what is likely to trigger the acceptance/germination of pollen and whether it reaches the ovary. Yes, I know that a lot of this is still very poorly understood, whether for plants or humans. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
