Question

write a short note on artificial hybridization​

Answer 1

Artificial Hybridization:

Knowledge on Pollen-pistil interaction helps in crossing different species/genera to produce commercially superior varieties, the technique we now know as Artificial Hybridization.

Artificial hybridization is the process in which only desired pollen grains are used for pollination & fertilization. Artificial hybridization is achieved using the following techniques:

• Emasculation
• Removal of anthers from bisexual flowers of female parent plant
• This is done before anthers mature
• Prevents self-pollination
• Bagging
• Covering the emasculated flower to prevent contamination
• Prevents contamination with unwanted pollen
• Desired pollen grains are dusted on stigma
• Flowers are bagged again.
