Plant Hybridization

Plant hybridization is the process of crossing different plant varieties or species to produce a new plant with desired traits. It involves the transfer of pollen from the male part of one plant to the female part of another, combining their genetic material. This technique can create plants with improved qualities such as better yield, disease resistance, or unique appearances. Hybridization is widely used in agriculture and gardening to develop new, productive, and resilient plant varieties that benefit growers and consumers alike.
