Answer 2

The two fusogenic agents used in somatic hybridization are polyethene glycol (PEG) and calcium ion (ca2+).

• Somatic hybridization is the production of hybrid plants by fusing the two cells or protoplast of two different plants such that the hybrid plants will have characteristics of both the plants.
• For fusion of protoplast fusogenic agents are used.
• These fusogenic agents are also used to take foreign DNA and other cell organelles in the cell.
• Lactic acid, PEG and calcium ions are common examples of fusogenic agents used in plant tissue culture experiments.
• PEG is widely used due to its high fusion efficiency and easy availability.
