Ok explain this to me as I’m wondering how the seed producer gets seed w/o using seed from a hybrid plant?

The plant breeder takes two plants, let’s say tomatoes. Two different varieties. He takes the pollen from the male flower and pollinates thr female flowers of the other tot Mayo plant. With this fruit makes, the seeds within that fruit or a hybrid (F1). You can collect these seeds and plant them next year and it’s a hybrid plant. Now, the seeds of the fruit grown that year are no longer a hybrid. Don’t ask me why. But if you plant them, they may grown plants, they may grow fruit, but you cannot rely on whatever the producer is promoting that hybrid to do (examples larger fruit, uniformity, disease resistance, cracking, heat scald, etc).
