Pollen also be sprinkled over heads or in mouths. Many Navajo people believe the body becomes holy when it travels over a trail sprinkled with pollen. Pollen Pollen is a fine to coarse powdery substance comprising pollen grains which are male microgametophytes of seed plants, which produce male gametes (sperm cells). Pollen grains have a hard coat made of sporopollenin that protects the gametophytes during the process of their movement from the stamens to the pistil of flowering plants, or from the male cone to the female cone of coniferous plants. If pollen lands on a compatible pistil or female cone,
Thalassia testudinum flowers open. There are two methods of pollination: hydrophily and biotic pollination. Through hydrophily, the pollen grains are carried through the water column by tides or currents and deposited upon an open pistillateflower. More recent investigation however, has uncovered active biotic pollination.Underwater video cameras have revealed that Crustacean, Polychaete, and Amphipoda swam towards open male flowers. These creatures were attracted to the seagrass’s nutritious mucilage—a carbohydrate-rich substance that houses pollen. As the invertebrates feeds on the mucilage, excess pollen grains stick to their bodies. They move from flower to flower feeding and spreading the pollen from male to female. Seeds
