The most important crop besides rice is wheat, which is grown on different parts of
China, and is used to make noodles and bread. Corn is also a popular crop in north and
northeastern China. It is used both for food and for animal feed.
Common hybrid crops include corn, rapeseed, sunflowers, and nearly all market vegetables. Some kinds of hybrid animals have been known for a long time, the most famous of which is the mule — which is a hybrid of a horse and a donkey. The concept of a hybrid is not restricted to plants and animals. For example, there are hybrid cars, which are powered by two different kinds of engines (e. g. petrol and electric) at the same time.
