An Overview on Protoplast Fusion and Somatic Hybridization

The below mentioned article provides an overview on Protoplast Fusion and Somatic Hybridization. Plant breeders sometimes face difficulties due to sexual incompatibility. This difficulty can be removed by protoplast fusion. By this method wider crosses are possible. Even crosses between plants showing physical and chemical incompatibilities are possible by protoplast fusion. In 1909 Kunster reported random fusion between mechanically isolated [...]
