Protoplasts of two different species are fused in:

A

micropropagation

B

somatic hybridization

C

clona propagation

D

organography

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Somatic hybridization or Parasexual hydridization is the technique of production of hybrids through the fusion of protoplasts from different genetic backgrounds. It takes place by the removal of cell wall by digestion with a combination of pectinase and cellulase.
