Anthesis is a phenomenon which refers to
- reception of pollen by stigma
- formation of pollen
- development of anther
- opening of flower bud.
Answer
(4) opening of flower bud.
Solution
Anthesis is the opening of the flower bud, i.e., the stage at which the flower opens fully and its anthers and stigma become exposed and functional.
∵ Reception of pollen by the stigma is pollination, formation of pollen is microsporogenesis and development of the anther is a pre-anthesis event.
∴ Anthesis refers to the opening of the flower bud.
