Adinamandry
Definition
A pathological state, structural anomaly, or rare biological dysfunction in higher plants, characterized by the functional incapacity, sterility, or lack of development of the male reproductive organs (stamens or anthers). This structural phenomenon prevents the production of fertile pollen, causing self-incompatibility or forcing the plant to rely exclusively on cross-pollination to ensure reproduction.
