Question

Give any two examples for the following:
Artificial method of vegetative propagation

Answer 1

Artificial vegetative propagation:

1. Two artificial methods of vegetative propagation are grafting and layering.
2. In grafting, a stem cut from a plant (scion) is fixed on the root cut from another plant (stock), and the parts are joined so that their vascular tissue combine, which allows the growth of the scion. It is carried out in apple, pear, mango, etc.
3. In layering, the branch of a plant is bent over the ground and covered with moist soil. This allows the formation of adventitious roots from the branch after some time and the new plants can be detached. Layering is carried out in jasmine, raspberry, lemon, etc.
