Interspecific Hybridization
Interspecific hybridization is a process where individuals from different species within the same genus cross to create a hybrid. This technique holds significant potential in plant breeding, allowing for the introduction of desirable traits, such as disease resistance, enhanced productivity, and environmental adaptability. Although natural hybridization occurs, controlled cross-breeding is more common in agricultural and horticultural practices. Scientists leverage genetic markers to manage and assess hybrid stability and viability. While challenges include genetic incompatibility and sterility, advances in biotechnology, such as embryo rescue, have made interspecific hybridization a valuable tool for creating new cultivars and expanding genetic diversity within crops, ultimately enhancing food security and sustainability.
