Regarding pollen-pistil Interaction:
1. Pollination guarantees fertilisation
2. Pollination guarantees the transfer of the right type of compatible pollen of the same species as the stigma
3. The pistil has the ability to recognise the pollen, whether it is of the right type (compatible) or of the wrong type (incompatible).
4. The ability of the pistil to recognise the pollen followed by its acceptance or rejection is the result of a continuous dialogue between pollen grain and the pistil mediated by neural signals.

Emasculation is done in artificial plant hybridisation experiments to:
1. prevent undesired pollen from landing on the stigma
2. enhance the fertility of the plant
3. render the plant sterile
4. prevent self-pollination in plants
