Various artificial hybridization techniques involve the removal of anther from bisexual flower without affecting the female reproductive part ,pistil, through the process of emasculation.

This technique is important part of the plant breeding programme as it ensures that pollen grains of only desirable plants are used for fertilization of stigma to develop the desired plant variety.
