Yes, but not with each other

No, because they are two totally different species. Maybe if they were in the same family, then eventually after many, many generations it could be possible. But not when they are two distinct species. Or you could go with the evolution solution. Maybe if you put both plants in the same environment for so many years they would evolve to that environment. Then, maybe you would call them a separate species. And, they might be close enough to cross breed.

I don't imagine it would be possible, but did you now that what you can do is graft a tomato onto a potato. That way you get two different crops from the one plant. Also, deadly nightshade is a member of the same family, but I wouldn't recommend you try anything with that.

No.Inter generic crosses are not feasible.
There are many challanging technical issues to be handled by the breeders even while conducting breeding trials and experiments amongst species,sub species and varieties(botanical).
Agricultural college students(during college rags) usually bid jokes like this.

I doubt you could breed this cross--but maybe with gene splicing you could produce a non-reproducible hybrid. Why pick these two plants though? Why not produce a tomato vine that can make apples?

No, cross breeding can occur at the same genus, but not between differing species...if they can breed, then they are the same species....and we know those aren't. However "grafting" is a different story, worthy of trying...

cross breed I don't think so but they are doing some gene splicing.I think it is between cotton plants and the gene of salmons to increase the plants resistance to freezing.

first: learn how to spell tomato right, and second: im not sure but its probably possible, then again why would you want to make a tomato-sunflower cross-bred plant?

I found tomato/sweet potato plants. They are cool. Still get the red fruits but they are flatter and wider.
