Why does fertilization not take place in Hibiscus?

There is pollination in hibiscus. But the pollen can not germinate. If pollen is germinated the pollen tube can not reach to the egg cell to fertilize it. It is called as pollen incompatibility %26amp; it occurs due to different biochemicals produced by biological activities. Though the pollen incompatibility is mostly due to genetic reason, it can be solved by artificial method. So there can be artificial fertilization in Hibiscus producing hybrid varieties.

because it is imperfect flower
Reply:it does not have insect to pollinate it...
Reply:coz the stigma is located higher than the anthers. The pollen can't reach the stigma :)
Reply:All plants that produce flowers, and therefore fruit, experience fertilization via sexual reproduction. Keep in mind that flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, and fruits [that contain seeds in them] are the result of fertilization. Hibiscus plants (Family Malvaceae; the mallow family), experience fertilization in the same way that all other flowering plants do: when pollen is delivered from the anthers ("male" part of a flower) to the receptive stigma ("female" part of a flower). Vegetative propoation is merely using a non-flowering portion of a plant (rhizome, branch, etc.,...) that can be rooted and grown into an identical individual.
Reply:whats that
Reply:It does takes place....
Reply:The anthers lie below the stigma , so the pollen grains r not transferred to the pollen tube .
Reply:ofcourse it takes place, then how would you get all the hibiscus plants that are there now?
Reply:Fertilization takes place in Hibiscus but no fruit formation as it is adopted to vegetative methods in evolution.
