Cultivar vs. Hybrid — What's the Difference?

A cultivar is a type of plant that people have bred for desired traits, which are reproduced in each new generation by a method such as grafting, tissue culture or carefully controlled seed production. Most cultivars arise from purposeful human manipulation, but some originate from wild plants that have distinctive characteristics.

(Genetics) The offspring of genetically dissimilar parents or stock, especially the offspring produced by breeding plants or animals of different varieties, species, or races.

A race or variety of a plant that has been created or selected intentionally and maintained through cultivation.

Something of mixed origin or composition, such as a word whose elements are derived from different languages.

A cultivated (not necessarily botanical) variety of a plant species or hybrid of two species.

Something having two kinds of components that produce the same or similar results, such as a vehicle powered by both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine as sources of power for the drivetrain.

A variety of a plant developed from a natural species and maintained under cultivation.

(biology) Offspring resulting from cross-breeding different entities, e.g. two different species or two purebred parent strains.

A variety of a plant developed from a natural species and maintained under cultivation

Something of mixed origin or composition; often, a tool or technology that combines the benefits of formerly separate tools or technologies.

(linguistics) A word whose elements are derived from different languages.

A hybrid vehicle (especially a car), one that runs on both fuel (gasoline/diesel) and electricity (battery or energy from the sun).

(cycling) A bicycle that is a compromise between a road bike and a mountain bike.

(golf) A golf club that combines the characteristics of an iron and a wood.

An electronic circuit constructed of individual devices bonded to a substrate or PCB.

A computer that is part analog computer and part digital computer.

Consisting of diverse components.

(of a car) Running on both fuel (gasoline/diesel) and electricity (battery or energy from the sun).

The offspring of the union of two animals or plants derived from recognizably different genetic lines, as two distinct species, or two strains of the same species with known genetic differences; an animal or plant produced from the mixture of two genetic lines. See Mongrel.

A word composed of elements which belong to different languages.

Anything derived by a mixture of components or characteristics from two distinctly different sources; as, a musical hybrid; a DNA-RNA hybrid.

Produced from the mixture of two genetically distinct strains; as, plants of hybrid nature.

Derived by a mixture of characteristics from two distinctly different sources; as, a hybrid musical style; a hybrid DNA molecule.

A word that is composed of parts from different languages (e.g., `monolingual' has a Greek prefix and a Latin root)

A composite of mixed origin;

An organism that is the offspring of genetically dissimilar parents or stock; especially offspring produced by breeding plants or animals of different varieties or breeds or species;

Produced by crossbreeding
