pollination

Definition

Pollination is the cascade of biological processes starting when pollen leaves the site of pollen production and continuing up to, but not including fertilisation, i.e. the fusion of sperm and egg. In this process, biotic agents such as insects, birds and mammals, or abiotic agents such as water or wind, or no agent in the case of self-pollination, may be involved.
