Commenlia produce two types of flowers-
(i) Chasmogamous: These flowers are similar to flowers of other species with exposed anthers and stigma.
(ii) Cleistogamous: These flowers do not open at all. In these flowers, anther and stigmalie close to each other. When anther dehisce in the flower buds, pollen grains come in contact with the stigma to effect pollination. Thus, cleistogamous are invariably autogamous as there is no chance of cross- pollen landing on the stigma.

Even after killing the generative cell with a laser beam, the pollen grain of a flowering plant germinates and produces normal pollen tube because
laser beam stimulates pollen germination and pollen tube growth
the laser beam does not damage the region from which pollen tube emerges
the contents of killed generative cell permits germination and pollen tube growth
the vegetative cell has not been damaged
