Relating to or causing secondary growth, development, or reproduction; produced as a result of a second generative process.
From deutero- (second) + -genic (from Greek 'genesis' meaning 'generation'). The adjective form describes things produced by or involved in secondary generation.
Scientists use this term to describe structures or processes that come from secondary development—like how a plant might grow new roots from a cutting, which is deuterogenic growth from the original plant.
