F1 hybrid

Definition

Vigorous and uniform, first-generation offspring, derived from crossing two distinct, pure-bred lines. F2 hybrids result from self-pollination within a population of F1 hybrids; they do not come true. (See also hybrid, graft hybrid, intergeneric hybrid, interspecific hybrid, multigeneric hybrid, trigeneric hybrid)
