Question
What is meant by emasculation? When and why does a plant breeder employ this technique?
✓

Answer

Emasculation is the process of removal of stamens from bisexual flower in bud condition using a pair of forceps. It is done in a flower before anthesis when the sex organs are not exposed and anthers not dehisced.
The plant breeders employ this technique to prevent self-pollination and to promate stigmas with pollens of desired variety.
