Suppose you have a crop plant with high protein quality, but prone to diseases. If you want to bring the high protein quality and disease resistance in one plant, what type of plant breeding method do you follow? Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Hybridisation. Because by cross hybridising two parents (one with high protein quality and another with disease resistance) to produce hybrids, the desired characters of the parents genetically combine in one plant.
