Cleistogamy is leading over anthesis because

  • pollination agent is not required

  • it assures heterozygosity

  • it favours insect pollination

  • it allows xenogamy


A.

pollination agent is not required

Cleistogamous flowers do not open at all. In such flowers, the anthers and stigma lie close to each other. Anthers when dehisce in the flower buds, pollen grains come in contact with the stigma to effect pollination Thus, cleistogamous flowers are autogamous as there is no chance of cross-pollination. So, no pollination agent is required in these flowers.
