[The use of hybridization in breeding of eukaryotic microorganisms].
The article deals with the genetic bases of breeding of eukaryotic microorganisms. Using the data on the Saccharomyces yeasts, application of different genetic approaches and methods to breeding is discussed, including interstrain, interlinear, and distant interspecific hybridization, as well as heterosis, polyploidy, cytoduction, and meiotic recombination.
