    Question: Pomato (a hybrid of potato and tomato) is produced by

    Options:

    Cytoplasmic fusion
    Protoplasmic fusion
    Nuclear fusion
    None

    ✅ Explanation: A pomato is not a true hybrid in the genetic sense. It's created by grafting, a horticultural technique where the shoot of one plant (tomato) is joined to the root system of another (potato). This allows both plants to grow together, producing tomatoes above ground and potatoes below ground.

    🔑Key Points :
    -Protoplast fusion- It involves the fusion of isolated protoplasts from two different varieties or species of plants, each having a desirable character, to obtain hybrid protoplasts, which can be further grown to form a new plant.
    -The hybrids obtained are referred to as somatic hybrids.
    -Pomato is a hybrid that was obtained by protoplast fusion of potato and tomato.
