Cultigen

A cultigen (from Latin cultus 'cultivated' and gens 'kind'), or cultivated plant,^{[note 1]} is a plant that has been deliberately altered or selected by humans,^[2] by means of genetic modification, graft-chimaeras, plant breeding, or wild or cultivated plant selection. These plants have commercial value in horticulture, agriculture and forestry. Plants meeting this definition remain cultigens whether they are naturalised, deliberately planted in the wild, or grown in cultivation.
