Bagging in plant breeding is done to:
AProtect the fruit from pests
BSpeed up germination
CIncrease nutrition to the flower
DPrevent contamination of the stigma by unwanted pollen
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Prevent contamination of the stigma by unwanted pollen
After emasculation (or in unisexual-female parents), the bud is **bagged** with butter paper to **prevent unwanted pollen** from reaching the stigma. When the stigma is receptive, the desired pollen is dusted on it and the flower is rebagged.
