Introduction :
Pollination is the process in which the pollen grains falls over the stigma for the fertilization process. This pollination is carried out by insects, wind, rainfall, birds, etc. After the pollen grains fall on the stigma the pollen tube starts to form. Due to the chemotaxic response, the pollen grains move towards the ovule. Along with the pollination process the insects, wind, rainfall, birds, etc. also involve in the absorption of nectar for the production of honey.
