4.1 Sexual Hybridization and Wide Crosses in Plant Breeding
Is the most common conventional method of generating a segregating population for selection in breeding flowering species.
Artificial sexual hybridization
The product of hybridization.
Hybrid
Can occur naturally through agents of pollination. The term hybridization is reserved for crossing between unidentical parents.
Sexual hybridization
Is the deliberate crossing of selected parents (controlled pollination). However, there are certain basic factors to consider in preparation for hybridization:
Artificial hybridization
The process of making a bisexual flower female by removing the male parts or incapacitating them is called
Emasculation
The technique of removing anthers from selected flowers is the most common procedure for the emasculation of flowers (usually using a pair of forceps).
Direct anther emasculation
In these methods, the anthers are incapacitated without being removed from the flower. Incapacitation is achieved in several ways.
Indirect anther emasculation
