    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_plant_hybrids

    This is a list of plant hybrids created intentionally or by chance and exploited commercially in agriculture or horticulture. The hybridization event mechanism is documented where known, along with the authorities who described it.

  3. Selective breeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_breeding

    Two purebred animals of different breeds produce a crossbreed, and crossbred plants are called hybrids. Flowers, vegetables and fruit-trees may be bred by amateurs and commercial or non-commercial professionals: major crops are usually the provenance of the professionals.

  4. Outcrossing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcrossing

    Outcrossing in plants is usually enforced by self-incompatibility.The primary adaptive function of flowers is the facilitation of outcrossing, a process that allows the masking of deleterious mutations in the genome of progeny.

    The Yecoro wheat (right) cultivar is sensitive to salinity, plants resulting from a hybrid cross with cultivar W4910 (left) show greater tolerance to high salinity. Plant breeding is the science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics. [1]

  6. Hybrid (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_(biology)

    A mule is a sterile hybrid of a male donkey and a female horse.Mules are smaller than horses but stronger than donkeys, making them useful as pack animals.. In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual reproduction.

  7. Hybridization in perennial plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybridization_in_perennial...

    In plants, hybridization mostly generates speciation events, [5] and commonly produces polyploid species. Factors like polyploidy events also plays significant factors for understanding the hybridization events (Example: an F1 hybrid of Jatropha curcas x Ricinus communis ), [ 6 ] because these polyploids tend to have an advantage for the early ...

  8. F1 hybrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F1_hybrid

    Crossing two genetically different plants produces a hybrid seed. This can happen naturally, and includes hybrids between species (for example, peppermint is a sterile F1 hybrid of watermint and spearmint). In agronomy, the term F1 hybrid is usually reserved for agricultural cultivars derived from two-parent cultivars.

  9. Purebred - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purebred

    Purebred are those animals that have been bred-up to purebred status as a result of using full blood animals to cross with an animal of another breed. Artificial breeding via artificial insemination or embryo transfer is often used in sheep and cattle breeding to quickly expand, or improve purebred herds.
