A cultivar is a cultivated variety of a plant that has been deliberately selected for specific desirable characteristics (such as the colour and form of the flower, yield of the crop, disease resistance etc.). When propagated Seeds and spores can be used for reproduction . Seeds are typically produced from sexual reproduction within a species, since because genetic recombination has occurred plants grown from seed may have different characteristics to its parents. Some species produce seed that require special conditions to germinate, such as cold treatment. The seed correctly the plants of a particular cultivar retain their special characteristics.
The naming of cultivars is an important aspect of cultivated plant taxonomy Cultivated plant taxonomy is the study of the theory and practice of the science that finds, describes, classifies, identifies, and names cultigens – those plants whose origin or selection is primarily due to intentional human activity and it must conform to the Rules and Recommendations of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants regulates the naming of cultivars, cultivar Groups and graft-chimaeras. Examples are (the ICNCP The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants regulates the naming of cultivars, cultivar Groups and graft-chimaeras. Examples are, commonly known as the Cultivated Plant Code The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants regulates the names of cultigens, that is, those plant names in the classification categories cultivar, Group and grex (as denoted in the 2009 ICNCP). Examples are:). A cultivar is given a cultivar name, which is a Latin botanical name followed by a cultivar epithet An epithet is a descriptive term (word or phrase) accompanying, or occurring in place of, a name, and having entered common usage. It has various shades of meaning when applied to seemingly real or fictitious people, divinities, objects, and biological nomenclature. It is also a descriptive title, mostly in a vernacular A Vernacular, mother tongue or mother language, and less frequently one sense of idiom and dialect, is the native language of a population located in a country or in a region defined on some other basis, such as a locality. For example, Navaho is a local language in the southwest of the United States, English is the state language of a number of language. For example, the full cultivar name of the King Edward potato is Solanum tuberosum 'King Edward'. The 'King Edward' part of the name is the cultivar epithet which, according to the Rules of the Cultivated Plant Code, is bounded by single quotation marks.[1]
Cultivars make up a major part of Liberty Hyde Bailey Liberty Hyde Bailey was an American horticulturist, botanist and cofounder of the American Society for Horticultural Science's broader grouping, the 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,[2] which is defined as a plant whose origin or selection is primarily due to intentional human activity.[3] The word cultivar was coined by Liberty Hyde Bailey and it is generally regarded as a portmanteau A portmanteau (pronounced /pɔrtmænˈtoʊ/ ) or portmanteau word is used broadly to mean a blend of two (or more) words or morphemes and their meanings into one new word, and narrowly in linguistics fields to mean only a blend of two or more function words of "cultivated" and "variety", but could also be derived from "cultigen" and "variety".
A cultivar is not the same as a botanical variety In botanical nomenclature, variety is a taxonomic rank below that of species: As such, it gets a ternary name,[4] and there are differences in the rules for the formation and use of the names of botanical varieties and cultivars. In recent times the naming of cultivars has been complicated by the use of statutary Plant Patents A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state (national government) to an inventor or their assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for a public disclosure of an invention and Plant Breeders' Rights.[5]
