A cultigen (from the Latin cultus - cultivated, and gens - kind) 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.

dbpprop:abstract
  • A cultigen (from the Latin cultus - cultivated, and gens - kind) 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. Cultigens include: selections of variants from the wild or cultivation including vegetative sports (aberrant growth that can be reproduced reliably in cultivation); plants that are the result of plant breeding and selection programs; genetically modified plants (plants modified by the deliberate implantation of genetic material); and graft-chimaeras (plants grafted to produce mixed tissue, the graft material possibly from wild plants, special selections, or hybrids). Because cultigens are defined by their mode of origin and not where they are growing, all plants in the above groupings remain cultigens whether they are naturalised in the wild or deliberately planted in the wild or in cultivation. The study of cultigen nomenclature and classification forms a major part of cultivated plant taxonomy. Cultigens can be named in several ways; a prominent naming system is the one that is laid down in the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants.. The rules and recommendations in the ICNCP provide for cultivar names and for names of graft-chimaeras. A named cultivar may be assigned to a Group (formerly Cultivar-group). Some cultigens have not been given cultivar names and these include: unnamed plants that are the result of breeding, selection, and tissue grafting; ancient cultigens - plants with binomials (i.e. recognized at the level of species) that occur in the wild but which have undergone selection and distribution by humans for so long that their original ancestral distributions and forms in the wild are uncertain or unknown - for example many ancient cultigens, like maize and banana (Musa spp. ), are precursors of important economic crops; and (presumed) anthropogenic plants that are no longer known in the wild and have not been given cultivar or Group names.
  • Un cultigène est une plante qui a été délibérément altérée ou sélectionnée par l'homme; c'est le résultat d'une sélection artificielle. Ces plantes « fabriquées » par l'homme ou anthropogéniques sont, en majorité, les plantes du commerce qui sont utilisées en horticulture, agriculture et sylviculture.
  • Культиге́н (от англ. cultivation — «культивация» и generation — «создание») — название одомашненного организма, не имеющего соответстующего организма в дикой природе. Подобное явление может появиться по двум причинам: либо в результате вымирания дикого вида, либо в результате изменения организма в культурных условиях настолько, что он может классифицироваться как иной вид или подвид.
  • Культиге́н (від англ. cultivation — «культивація» та generation — «утворення») — назва одомашненого організму, що не має відповідного організму в дикій природі. Це може трапитися з двох причин, або якщо природний вид вимер, або якщо організм змінився в культурних умовах достатньо, щоб класифікуватися до іншого виду або підвиду, інколи природна форма культурного організму залишається невідомою.
