OBS

allopollinisation : Certains auteurs considèrent que les termes «allopollinisation» et «allogamie» sont synonymes. Ce point de vue peut être justifié par le fait que l'allopollinisation est nécessairement conclue par une fécondation, et ce, peu importe le temps écoulée entre les deux événements.
