Emasculation refers to the process of removing the anthers from a flower. It's done before dehiscence to keep undesirable pollen out of the stigma and to ensure cross-pollination by preferred pollens.

  • In artificial hybridization, emasculation is used to exclusively fertilise stigma with emasculated pollens.
  • In artificial hybridisation programmes, emasculation is a technique that is used.
  • Emasculation is the process of removing anthers from a flower bud with forceps before it dehisces.
  • To avoid self-pollination, plant breeders use this strategy. This is useful in artificial hybridization when specific pollen is required.
