Preferred Label : embryo;
Uberon definition : Anatomical entity that comprises the organism in the early stages of growth and differentiation
that are characterized by cleavage, the laying down of fundamental tissues, and the
formation of primitive organs and organ systems. For example, for mammals, the process
would begin with zygote formation and end with birth. For insects, the process would
begin at zygote formation and end with larval hatching. For plant zygotic embryos,
this would be from zygote formation to the end of seed dormancy. For plant vegetative
embryos, this would be from the initial determination of the cell or group of cells
to form an embryo until the point when the embryo becomes independent of the parent
plant.;
