Compared with the traditional sexual hybridization methods, plant cell hybridization has what superiority

1, can overcome the sexual hybridization of non-affinity

2, can overcome the hybrid parents do not meet the flowering period and short flowering period and other problems

3, can choose a variety of materials for crossbreeding, such as distantly related hybrids, plants and animals, etc.

But somatic cell hybridization also has some limitations, such as the establishment of the corresponding regeneration system, especially the protoplast regeneration system; The selection of hybrid offspring; if the kinship is far away, then the hybrid offspring will also exist at the somatic cell level of non-affinity; the utilization of hybrids still have to be through backcrossing and other means, because somatic cell hybridization is only a method of creating variation, to be applied also need to be rooted in the combination of traditional hybridization.
