Advances in cell fusion technology have propelled breeding into the realm of somatic hybridization, enabling the transfer of genetic material independent of sexual reproduction. This has facilitated genome recombination both within and between species. Despite its use in plant breeding for over fifty years, somatic hybridization has been limited by cumbersome procedures, such as protoplast isolation, hybridized-cell selection and cultivation, and regeneration, particularly in woody perennial species that are difficult to regenerate. This review summarizes the development of somatic hybridization, explores the challenges and solutions associated with cell fusion technology in woody perennials, and outlines the process of protoplast regeneration. Recent advancements in genome editing and plant cell regeneration present new opportunities for applying somatic hybridization in breeding. We offer a perspective on integrating these emerging technologies to enhance somatic hybridization in woody perennial plants.
