Hybridized plants are those that are the result of cross-pollinating two true breeding plants.Hybridized plants will have a specific phenotype, but have a genotype that reflects both of the parents - they are created to get certain specific traits out of the parents.. Hope this helps you.....

Hybridization refers to cross breeding of two genetically different parents to bring our desired characteristics in an individual plant that helps a lot in crop production by improving the fertility and variety of crop.

hybridization refers to the crossing of genetically dissimilar plants. It may be intervarietal , interspecific and inter generic. Two crops of good characters or desired characters are  selected and crossed to obtain the desired characteristics from the parent crops.this method of hybridization also improves crops with respect to disease resistence, pest resistence,yield and etc.
