Question

Which flowers require emasculation during artificial hybridization?

पर्याय

• Only unisexual female flowers

• Bisexual flowers that have both male and female parts

• All flowers regardless of their structure

• Only male flowers with mature anthers

Answer 1

Emasculation is required only for bisexual flowers, which contain both male (stamens/anthers) and female (pistil/stigma) parts. Examples include wheat, rice, and tomato. In bisexual flowers, emasculation prevents self-fertilization by removing the male parts before they mature.
