What is Hybridization?

Hybridization is the process of crossing two genetically different individuals to produce a new individual with a combination of traits from both parents.

List the five main steps involved in plant breeding through hybridization.

The five main steps are: 1. Collection of Variability (Germplasm Collection), 2. Evaluation and Selection of Parents, 3. Cross Hybridization, 4. Selection of Superior Recombinants, and 5. Testing, Release, and Commercialization.
