Solution

Regeneration of new plants from portions of vegetative organs is very common and is called vegetative propagation. It is a form of asexual reproduction. Because new individuals are produced from a single parent without the act of fusion of gametes are generally identical to the parent plant because of the mitotic division during their development.

  • In natural propagation, the detached plant part develops in to a new independent plant, under suitable environmental conditions.
  • In artificial propagation, humans apply special techniques to obtain new independent plant.

There are various ways of carrying out vegetative propagation of plants. Artificial methods of vegetative propagation are man - made and developed by plant growers and Horticulturists for commercial production of crops. Cutting, layering, grafting and budding are some of the traditional methods whereas tissue culture is a recent technology.
