You are conducting artificial hybridisation on papaya and potato. Which one of them would require the step of emasculation and why? However, for both, you will use the process of bagging. Justify giving one reason?
Potato: Potato plant has a bisexual flower, which means it has both male and female reproductive parts in the same flower. And the plant is Monoecious. Hence it needs emasculation to prevent autogamy. Papaya: In case of papaya plant, male and female flowers are present on separate plants, that is each plant is either male or female (dioecious). This condition prevents both autogamy and geitonogamy. So for artificial hybridisation, both will require bagging to prevent contamination of stigma.
