搞植物育种的,用英文写作要特别注意Variety 和 Cultivar之间的区别。这两个词虽然中文都译为“品种”,但其间的区别要分清。
简而言之,Variety 是自然发生的,在植物分类学上是species(种)之下的一个概念,相当于“变种”。具体来讲就是“ (biology) a taxonomic category consisting of members of a species that differe from others of the same species in minor but heritable characteristics”。而Cultivar不是分类学概念,是经济学概念“品种”,一般是指人工选育出来的栽培品种,或者自然界找到的作为品种的自然变异。
