- Definition
- A gametophyte development stage (PO:0028003) that occurs during the interval between the initiation of either a multicellular plant gametangium (PO:0025124) or a unicellular plant gametangium (PO:0025521) and the onset of senescence. [source: POC:curators, POC:Laurel_Cooper]
- Comment
- A whole plant (PO:0000003) may continue developmental vegetative growth (GO:0080186) after it has entered the reproductive stage, and it may revert to a stage in which it is no longer producing gametantia, but once it has initiated a single gametangium, it remains in the reproductive stage until senescence or death by some other cause.
