Vegetable seeds refer to seeds of those plants that are or may be cultivated in yards or on mobile farms and are or may be marketed as vegetables or herbs in general. They are a result of a flower or building that resembles a flower. The flower is the first stage of the seed life cycle, and the seedling is the last, but many of the stages in between differ from plant to plant. The main types of vegetable seeds are open-pollinated and hybrid. When a plant is purposely cross-pollinated between two or more different species of plants, hybrid vegetable seeds are produced. The goal of cross-pollination is to produce offspring or hybrids that have the best characteristics of both parent plants. The various crop type includes Solanaceae, roots and bulb, cucurbit, brassica, leafy, and others that are available as genetically modified seeds and conventional seeds. The major forms of vegetable seeds are organic and inorganic.
