peer agreement (net): +1| endocría y cruzabilidad inbreeding and crossbreeding Explanation: These are the correct terms in English. See ref: -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-02-01 21:50:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could also consider using interbreeding as an alternative to inbreeding. Inbreeding normally can be used with both plants and animals, although I believe it is used more often with animals. Inbreeding: see article on inbreeding in plants: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-incompatibility_in_plants Interbreed in·ter·breed (ntr-brd) v. in·ter·bred (-brd), in·ter·breed·ing, in·ter·breeds v.intr. 1. To breed with another kind or species; hybridize. 2. To breed within a narrow range or with closely related types or individuals; inbreed. v.tr. To cause to interbreed. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/interbreeding I know that interbreed can be used with plants, crops.
