HYBRIDIZATION

Created by,Karthika.P Natural science, NO:13, K.U.C.T.E

Gregor Johann Mendel was born on July 20th, 1822 in the Austrian Empire, now the Czech Republic.

He was an Augustinian friar of the Catholic church and a scientist. He eventually became the abbot of St. Thomas' Abbey, after which his scientific work decreased due to increasing administrative responsibilities. Mendel is known for pea-plant experiments and subsequent theories on genetics. During a seven year period, Mendel experimented with pea plants in the garden owned in his monastery. 

WHY PEA PLANTS ?

Mendel was well aware that there were certain preconditions that had to be carefully established before commencing investigations into the inheritance of characteristics. The parental plants must be known to possess constant and differentiating characteristics.  To establish this condition, Mendel took an entire year to test "true breeding" (non-hybrid) family lines, each having constant characteristics.   The experimental plants also needed to produce flowers that would be easy to protect against foreign pollen.  The special shape of the flower of the Leguminosae family, with their enclosed styles, drew his attention.  On trying several from this family, he finally selected the garden pea plant (Pisum sativum) as being most ideal for his needs.  Mendel also picked the common garden pea plant because it can be grown in large numbers and its reproduction can be manipulated.  As with many other flowering plants, pea plants have both male and female reproductive organs.  As a result, they can either self-pollinate themselves or cross-pollinate with other plants. In his experiments, Mendel was able to selectively cross-pollinate purebred plants with particular traits and observe the outcome over many generations.  This was the basis for his conclusions about the nature of genetic inheritance.

STEPS FOR DOING HYBRIDISATION

1.SELECTION OF PARENT PLANTS WITH DIFFERENT QUALITIES.

2.REMOVES STAMENS FROM FEMALE FLOWER

3.COLLECTS POLLEN GRAINS FROM THE MALE FLOWER

4.POLLINATES THE FEMALE FLOWER USING THE COLLECTED POLLEN GRAINS.

5.COVERS THE MOTHER PLANT WITH POLYTHENE BAG.

6.COLLECTS SEEDS7.GERMINATES THE SEEDS8.SELECTS AND GROWS BETTER VARITIES OF

OFFSPRINGS.
