Effect of Hybridization on Somatic Mutations and Genomic Rearrangements in Plants

Effect of Hybridization on Somatic Mutations and Genomic Rearrangements in Plants

Hybridization has been routinely practiced in agriculture to enhance the crop yield. Principally, it can cause hybrid vigor where hybrid plants display increased size, biomass, fertility, and resistance to diseases, when compared to their parents. During hybridization, hybrid offspring receive a gen...
