Hybridization and photoperiod:
Hybridization:
- It is a process of crossing between dissimilar organisms / same varieties to get a desired trait progeny.
- It results in the production of hybrids.
- It brings out the variation among the plant/animal group.
Benefits of Hybridization
- increases the yield of plants
- gives rise to resistant plants
- produces organisms with selected qualities.
Photoperiod:
- The duration of time that a plant/animal is exposed to the light in a day.
- It is important in plants because the food synthesis method called photosynthesis depends on light.
- Short photoperiod results in the plant growth retardation.
