    Study Notes

    • Distant hybridizations involve crossing different species or genera.
    • They can improve resistance to diseases, pests, and environmental conditions.
    • Success depends on the degree of proximity or distance of the parental species.
    • Infertility can result from quantitative and qualitative differences between genomes.
    • Methods to overcome intersterility include reciprocal hybridization, pollination with a mixture of pollen, and in vitro fertilization.
    • Fertility of F1 hybrids depends on chromosome pairing and distribution during meiosis.
    • Sterility can be overcome through repeated hybridization and colchicine treatment.
    • Embryo culture can regenerate valuable genotypes from hybridizations.
    • Somatic (parasexual) hybridization through cell and tissue cultures can transfer genetic information from superspecific taxa to cultivated plants.
    • Protocols for somatic hybridizations involve fusion of protoplasts, which lack a cell wall.
    • Protoplasts are plant cells without cell walls.
    • Methods for in vitro growth of protoplasts have been developed.
    • Protoplasts can be fused to create cell hybrids.
    • Two types of cell hybrids can be obtained: symmetrical and asymmetrical.
    • Symmetrical hybrids have cells and organelles inherited from both parents.
    • Asymmetrical hybrids have a lower number of chromosomes.
    • Chemical substances are used to induce protoplast fusion.
    • Genetic markers can be used to identify fused protoplasts.
    • Cell hybrids do not segregate and are heterozygous for all genes.
    • Hybrids can be created between organisms with different ways of reproduction.
