The given figures show some examples of angiosperms as A, B, C and D. All these are capable of giving rise to new offspring with the help of vegetative propagules. Identify the correct unit of vegetative propagules present in these angiosperms.
The given figures show some examples of angiosperms as A, B, C and D. All these are capable of giving rise to new offspring with the help of vegetative propagules. Identify the correct unit of vegetative propagules present in these angiosperms.
The correct option is D A - Tuber B - Rhizome
C - Bulbil D - Leaf buds
Vegetative propagation is the formation of new plants from vegetative units such as buds, tubers, rhizomes, etc. These vegetative units are called vegetative propagules. In the given figures of members of angiosperms (A- Potato; B - Ginger; C Agave and D - Bryophyllum), the correct vegetative propagules present are respectively tuber, rhizome, bulbil and leaf buds.
Tubers: These have buds over their nodes or eyes which produce new plantlets when a stem tuber or a part of it having an eye is placed in the soil.
Rhizomes: These are main underground stems which store food during unfavourable conditions. These have buds for formation of new aerial shoots during favourable conditions.
Bulbils: These are multicellular fleshy buds that take part in vegetative propagation.
Leaf buds: These arise from the notches present at the margin of leaves in Bryophyllum.
C - Bulbil D - Leaf buds
