Biology · HSEXUAL REPRODUCTION IN FLOWERING PLANTS

In an artificial hybridisation programme, if the female parent bears bisexual flowers, what is the correct sequence of steps followed?

1. Bagging \( \rightarrow \) Emasculation \( \rightarrow \) Dusting of desired pollen \( \rightarrow \) Rebagging
2. Emasculation before anther dehiscence \( \rightarrow \) Bagging \( \rightarrow \) Dusting of desired pollen upon receptivity \( \rightarrow \) Rebagging
3. Emasculation after flower opening \( \rightarrow \) Dusting of pollen \( \rightarrow \) Bagging
4. Bagging \( \rightarrow \) Dusting of desired pollen \( \rightarrow \) Emasculation \( \rightarrow \) Fruit development
