Hybridisation
Hybridisation is a breeding technique that is often used in plants. Hybridisation is done to enhance the look or quality of a certain agricultural product. For instance, if one flower has a characteristic that makes it look incredibly attractive and another flower is very famous for its fragrance, hybridisation experts can use each of the plant’s genetic make up and combine them to produce a flower that is both amazing in appearance and has a fantastic fragrance. Hybridisation simply takes the desirable characteristic of each plant and combine them to produce a better and improved breed of plant. It is basically rearranging the genes of plants and reproduce them.
Plants are used in hybridisation more than animals are. Cross pollination is one natural method of how plants employ hybridisation. Plants can go through the process of hybridisation with little effort and less work. This technique can actually be used in the improvement of seeds, fruits and vegetable for human consumption. They can also be used aesthetically in horticultural applications.
