Cybrids — Transfer of Chloroplast Traits Through Protoplast Fusion Between Sexually Incompatible Solanaceae Species

  • Chapter
Somatic Hybridization in Crop Improvement I

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 27))

Abstract

The chloroplast and mitochondrial genome (plastome and chondriome) have a considerable impact on crop characteristics of breeding importance. Their role in the energy household of the plant may be directly linked to growth, harvest time, and grain yield. They can also determine such defined traits as pathotoxin resistance, herbicide resistance, temperature tolerance, and male sterility. A notable aspect of plant breeding is that nucleocytoplasmic heterosis might have an important role in hybrid vigor (discussed by Srivastava 1983). Furthermore, the need for broadening the cytoplasmic diversity within a crop species is of a general importance in itself since the hard lesson learnt from the universal use of the Texas male sterile cytoplasm, which turned out to be susceptible to the fungus causing southern corn leaf blight disease in corn.
