Enlist the steps of controlled cross-pollination. Would emasculation be needed in a cucurbit plant? Give reasons for your answer.

Answers (1)

Controlled cross-pollination involves the following steps:

  1. Emasculation
  2. Transfer of pollen from a different flower
  3. Pollination
  4. Fertilization

Emasculation is necessary in the case of a monoecious plant, but it is not needed in the plants of Cucurbitaceae as they have unisexual flowers.
