Q. Removal of anthers at the time of plant breeding is called

ManipalManipal 2012

Solution:

Emasculation means removal of anthers or stamens or killing of pollen grains of a flower without affecting in any way, the female reproductive organs. It is done to prevent the self-fertilization pollination means falling of pollen grain on the stigma of flower. Fertilization means fusion of male gamete and female gamete and anthesis means flowering (opening of floral buds).
