I guess what I am unclear on is does the hybridizer stablize the variety before it goes on the market; if so does that mean they can use seeds from the fruits (I am talking tomatoes) to sell next year? If not then does that mean they cross the original parent generation every year to get seeds for the desired variety. I admit I am probably missing the obvious.
