nonhybridised
Nonhybridised is an adjective used in biology and genetics to describe organisms, lineages, or populations that have not undergone hybridization. Hybridization refers to mating between genetically distinct individuals or populations, resulting in offspring with mixed ancestry. A nonhybridised lineage thus retains a single, undifferentiated gene pool from a given species or subspecies, with little to no introgression from other lineages.
In plant breeding, nonhybridised or open-pollinated lines are contrasted with hybrid varieties. Hybrid varieties are produced
In evolutionary biology, nonhybridised populations may show reproductive isolation from related taxa, reducing gene flow. When
The term's usage depends on context. In agriculture it highlights the absence of deliberate crossbreeding, while
