Vegetative Propagation Examples

Cards (12)

  • Examples include layering, grafting, budding, cuttings, division, tuberization, bulb formation, rhizome formation, runners, offsets, suckers, and corms.
  • It allows for rapid multiplication of desirable traits without the need to wait for seed production or germination.
  • Vegetative propagation is the process by which new plants are produced from vegetative parts (leaves, stems, roots) rather than seeds.
  • Vegetative propagation is the process by which new plants are produced from vegetative parts (leaves or stems) instead of seeds.
  • Cutting - It involves taking a piece of stem or root from a parent plant and allowing it to develop roots and shoots into a new plant.
  • Layering involves bending a stem downward until it touches the soil surface, where it develops into a new plant while still attached to the parent plant.
  • Budding - Similar to grafting but only a single bud is used as the scion.
  • Grafting - In this technique, a small part of one plant called scion is joined onto another plant called stock using a special adhesive material.
  • Grafting involves joining two different types of plants together so that they can grow as one.
  • Budding involves removing a small part of a branch with a bud on it and attaching it to another plant, causing it to form roots and become a new plant.
  • Tissue culture - This method involves growing cells or tissues under sterile conditions on nutrient-rich media to produce large numbers of identical plants.
  • Tissue culture - The process of growing cells or tissues under sterile conditions on nutrient-rich media to produce large numbers of identical clones.
