Pollened: meaning, definitions and examples
🌼
pollened
[ ˈpɒl.ənd ]
plant reproduction
Pollened refers to the process where pollen is transferred from the male anthers of a flower to the female stigma. This is a crucial step in the reproduction of flowering plants. Pollination can occur through various means, such as wind, water, or animals. Without pollination, many plants would be unable to produce seeds and propagate their species. The success of many crops is dependent on effective pollination, making it an essential process in agriculture.
Synonyms
cross-pollinated, fertilized, inseminated.
Examples of usage
- Bees pollened the flowers in the garden.
- The wind pollened the fields of wildflowers.

Etymology
The term 'pollened' derives from the word 'pollen,' which has its roots in the Latin word 'pollen', meaning 'fine flour' or 'fines.' Pollen is composed of tiny reproductive particles produced by seed plants. The process of pollination is as old as flowering plants themselves, which emerged around 130 million years ago. The study of pollination has become increasingly important, especially in the context of declining bee populations and the vital role they play in transferring pollen. Throughout history, humans have recognized the significance of pollinators, and as agriculture developed, their understanding of how plants reproduce and the need for pollination became evident. This understanding has led to advancements in agricultural practices and conservation efforts.
