Agriculture Agriculture (25) Plant Reproductive Material (1) description: Ontomatica's Plant Reproductive Material Data Application integrates relevant ontology rules (items, properties, relationships and constraints) with relevant data sets. The Plant Reproductive Material Data Application is used to support registration of varieties, and certification or inspection of lots of seed and plant propagating material before marketing. Background: Plant reproduction is the production of new individuals or offspring in plants, which can be accomplished by sexual or asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically different from the parent or parents. Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes, genetically identical to the parent plants and each other, except when mutations occur. In seed plants, the offspring can be packaged in a protective seed, which is used as an agent of dispersal.
