Question

Answer in 40 to 80 words:
What is artificial hybridization? By which technique is it achieved?

Answer 1

Artificial hybridization:

1. Artificial hybridization is the process of crossing two genetically diverse individuals with desirable qualities in order to produce offspring with superior traits to the parents.
2. During the artificial hybridization process, just the desired pollen grains are manufactured to be introduced to the stigma by pollination.
3. This method helps to avoid pollen rejection while also saving time. This method aids in the development of plants with the desired features.

Artificial hybridization can be achieved by:

1. The removal of anthers from a bisexual flower to prevent self-pollination is known as emasculation.
2. To prevent pollination, this bloom is bagged.
3. The male flower's mature pollen grains are gathered, the bag is opened, and the pollens are dusted on the blossom.
4. Flowers are bagged after pollination until fruits form.
5. The fruit is a hybrid and of excellent quality.
