Question

Describe the steps followed in this technique.

Hint:

Artificial hybridisation is a critical step in plant breeding programs to enhance crop varieties.

Answer 1

The steps in artificial hybridisation are: 
Emasculation: Removal of stamens from the bisexual flowers of the female parent to prevent self-pollination. 
Bagging: Covering the emasculated flower with a bag to prevent contamination from unwanted pollen. 
Pollination: Dusting pollen from the male parent onto the stigma of the female parent. 
Re-bagging: Re-covering the flower to ensure fertilization occurs without external interference.
