Abstract excerpt
Arabidopsis thaliana is commonly regarded as a self-pollinated plant. We observed that the stigma in each flower of A. thaliana cannot be pollinated by its own pollen in the early phases of the flowering process, when the anthers had dehisced but the filaments were still too short for the pollen to be deposited on the stigma. In the later stages, after elongation of the filaments, self-pollination can occur....
