When is the distant hybridization method used?

We know the meaning of the word “hybrid”. It is an organism that emerged from the crossing of two different organisms. The creation of new animals and plants by crossing organisms that belong to different species or genera is called distant hybridization. Accordingly, two types of hybridization are distinguished: interspecific and intergeneric. This is necessary in order to create varieties and breeds of animals that have some useful qualities. For example: wheat resistance to cold or rapid muscle growth in animals for more meat.
