Hybridization is the process of crossing two genetically different plants to produce offspring with desired traits.

Transgenesis is the process of introducing a gene from one organism into the genome of another organism.

Cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical copy of an existing plant.

Mutation is the process of changing the genetic makeup of an organism by exposing it to radiation or chemicals.

Selection is the process of selecting plants with desired traits and breeding them together to create offspring with those traits.

Self-pollination is the process of crossing a plant with itself to produce offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.

Interspecific hybridization is the process of crossing a plant with a plant of a different species to produce offspring that are genetically different from both parents.

Intraspecific hybridization is the process of crossing a plant with a plant of the same species but a different variety to produce offspring that are genetically different from both parents.

Intergeneric hybridization is the process of crossing a plant with a plant of a different genus to produce offspring that are genetically different from both parents.

Interfamilial hybridization is the process of crossing a plant with a plant of a different family to produce offspring that are genetically different from both parents.

Interordinal hybridization is the process of crossing a plant with a plant of a different order to produce offspring that are genetically different from both parents.

Interclass hybridization is the process of crossing a plant with a plant of a different class to produce offspring that are genetically different from both parents.

Interphylum hybridization is the process of crossing a plant with a plant of a different phylum to produce offspring that are genetically different from both parents.

Interkingdom hybridization is the process of crossing a plant with a plant of a different kingdom to produce offspring that are genetically different from both parents.

Interdomain hybridization is the process of crossing a plant with a plant of a different domain to produce offspring that are genetically different from both parents.
