Formation of Somatic Cell Hybrids | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the mechanism of formation of somatic cell hybrids. It had been known since the 60's that somatic cells from the same or different species in culture could spontaneously fuse to form polyploid cells. The product of fusion was called homokaryon if the two parental cells came from the same species, and heterokaryon or [...]

Identification and Selection of Hybrid Cells in Plants

Read this article to learn about the identification and selection of hybrid cells in plants. For this purpose several methods are available which depends on (a) Physical properties of fused cells (b) Biological properties of fused cells and (c) Biological properties of colonies derived from fused cells. Following fusion treatment, the protoplasts in liquid culture medium regenerate cell walls and [...]
