Answer» Somatic hybridisation – The isolated cells from to-mato and potato are converted into naked protoplasts by digesting the cell walls. Isolated protoplasts of the two plants are fused to get hybrid protoplasts which is further grown to form a new plant. Somatic hybrid of tomato and potato is called Pomato. |
