Solution
The correct option is B Emasculation
- Emasculation is the removal of stamens or anthers or killing the pollen of a flower is known as emasculation.
- In bisexual flowers, emasculation is essential to prevent self-pollination. In monoecious plants, male flowers are removed or male inflorescence is removed.
- In species with large flowers e.g., (cotton, pulses) hand emasculation is accurate, and it is adequate.
- The corolla of the selected flower is opened with the help of forceps and the anthers are carefully removed with the help of forceps before dehiscence.
- An efficient emasculation technique should prevent self-pollination and produce a high percentage of seed set on cross-pollination.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
