Quick Notes on Somatic Hybridisation | Cell Biology

The below mentioned article provides a quick notes on Somatic Hybridisation.  Sexual hybridisation n higher plant is a valu­able tool for the conventional plant breeding to improve cultivated crops. It involves the artificial cross-fertilisation between the genet­ically dissimilar individuals to combine several desirable traits present in different varieties into one single variety. Unfortunately, conventional hybridisation is limited to only very [...]

Protoplast Fusion: Meaning, Methods and Its Mechanisms

In this article we will discuss about Protoplast Fusion:- 1. Meaning of Protoplast Fusion 2. Methods of Protoplast Fusion 3. Mechanisms. Meaning of Protoplast Fusion: Protoplast fusion is a physical phenomenon. During fusion, two or more protoplasts come in contact and adhere with one another either spontaneously or in presence of fusion induc­ing chemicals. After adhesion, membranes of protoplasts fuse [...]
