Hybridization Techniques for Indoor Plants

FAQ About Hybridization Techniques for Indoor Plants

What is the difference between a hybrid plant and a genetically modified organism (GMO)?

The primary difference between hybrid plants and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) lies in the methods used to create them. Hybrid plants are produced through traditional breeding techniques, such as cross-pollination, within the same or closely related species. In contrast, GMOs are created using advanced genetic engineering technologies that can introduce genes from different species, potentially creating advantageous traits that are not achievable through standard breeding.
