The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the sepal over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process pertaining to the initial formation of an organ from unspecified parts. The process begins with the specific processes that contribute to the appearance of the discrete structure, such as inductive events, and ends when the structural rudiment of the organ is recognizable, such as a condensation of mesenchymal cells into the organ rudiment. Organs are a natural part or structure in an animal or a plant, capable of performing some special action (termed its function), which is essential to the life or well-being of the whole. The heart and lungs are organs of animals, and the petal and leaf are organs of plants. In animals the organs are generally made up of several tissues, one of which usually predominates, and determines the principal function of the organ. A developmental process by which a progressive change in the state of some part of an organism specifically contributes to its ability to form offspring. The process by which a floral organ primordium acquires sepal identity. Identity is considered to be the aggregate of characteristics by which a structure is recognized. The process by which the anatomical structures of the floral organ are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process that gives rise to the sepal. This process pertains to the initial formation of a structure from unspecified parts. The process that gives rise to floral organs. This process pertains to the initial formation of a structure from unspecified parts. The process by which the anatomical structures of the sepal are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
