Vedclass · Answer

(A) Emasculation is a technique used in plant breeding to prevent self-pollination. In bisexual flowers,the anthers are removed from the flower bud before they dehisce,using a pair of forceps. This ensures that the female reproductive part (stigma) is not pollinated by the pollen from the same flower,allowing for controlled cross-pollination with a desired male parent.
