FAQ About Hybridization Techniques for Indoor Plants
What is the importance of controlled pollination in plant hybridization?
Controlled pollination is crucial in plant hybridization because it ensures the desired cross between selected parent plants, leading to predictable and consistent results. By carefully managing the pollination process, breeders can maximize the chance of transferring specific traits, such as color, size, or disease resistance, to the offspring. It also prevents unintended cross-pollination, which can introduce undesirable traits or hinder the stabilization of the hybrid.
