Question
What is emasculation?
Advertisements
Solution
Emasculation is the process of removing stamens from the female parent flower before they have burst and shed their pollen, done to prevent self-fertilisation during hybridisation in plants. It ensures that only the desired pollen from another plant fertilises the flower.
