Step (c) is carried out by scissoring or cutting, followed by scraping of the pollen tube closed by the phenotype of functional sterility. The obtained tomato plant is preferably a hybrid. The invention further relates to cultivation material for tomatoes such as seed, tomato plants as well as a seedless tomato, obtainable according to the abovementioned method, as well as a processed product on a tomato basis obtained from such seedless tomatoes. Finally, the invention relates to the parent lines as well as a method for obtaining these parent lines.
