I wonder about these below:
-Someone mentions in this forum that one can use honey to make the pollen stick to the stigma. My question is does the honey draw water away, thus making the stigma part drying-up & wilting faster? (I saw the stigma dry up the next day with honey)
-Will the sugar in the honey feed the pollen to make it grows the tube faster down toward the ovaries, will it give the sperm energy via sugar to reach the target better?
-Does each grain grows one tube, & each tube only fertilizes one ovule, making one seed?
-If each grain only makes one tube, how many tubes actually grows into the pod to make millions of seeds?
-Does the ph of the honey affect the process? confuses the pollen grain to where the tube should grow into?
-How fast does these tube grow? How long does the stigma part have to remain on the flower (not falling off) for the tubes to grow down? because I think, if it drops too fast, the tube may not reach beyond the juncture where the flower separate from the pod.
