Role of Thrips in pollination of angiospermic plants

Abstract
Thrips are drawn to flowers that are white or
cream in color, have a nice scent, and have a unique shape. These insects are
usually found in medium-sized blooms with light-white to soft yellow petals
that may or may not generate nectar. The floral structure is compact and
spherical, with a pollen chamber, and the pollen grains are tiny and dry.
Thrips gather live pollen grains on their bodies and carry them to the stigma
as they pass from the anther. These small pollinators carry a lot of pollen and
forage for pollen and nectar day and night. As a result, Thrips support the
processes of cross-pollination and self-pollination.
