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

  1. increases the yield of plants
  2. gives rise to resistant plants
  3. 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.
