WHAT DOES CULTIGEN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cultigen

Cultigen

A cultigen is a plant that has been deliberately altered or selected by humans; it is the result of artificial selection. These "man-made" or anthropogenic plants are, for the most part, plants of commerce that are used in horticulture, agriculture and forestry. Because cultigens are defined by their mode of origin and not by where they are growing, plants meeting this definition remain cultigens whether they are naturalised in the wild, deliberately planted in the wild, or growing in cultivation. Cultigens arise in the following ways: selections of variants from the wild or cultivation including vegetative sports; plants that are the result of plant breeding and selection programs; genetically modified plants; and graft-chimaeras. Cultigens may be named in any of a number of ways. The traditional method of scientific naming is under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, and many of the most important cultigens, like maize and banana, are so named.
