Question

What are the artificial methods of vegetative reproduction in plants ? Give examples.

Answer 1

➡️ Vegetative reproduction is also known as vegetative propagation .


ARTIFICIAL METHODS OF VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION :
-----------------------------------------------------------


➡️ We have developed certain artificial methods of vegetative propagation like

✴️cutting
✴️layering
✴️grafting and
✴️tissue culture .

Cutting :
------------

✳️A Part of the stem is cut and the cut end is planted in most soil after sometime it gives rise to roots and grows into an independent plant .

✳️ Example : mango ,sugarcane and rose .


Layering :
--------------

✳️A Portion of one of the lowest prices of the plant is bent towards so that it touches the soil a bring of birth is removed from the portion which is then covered with soil a break or some other any object is used to keep the brands and soil in the place once the brand strike fruits it is cut off from the main plant and grown separately .

✳️ Example : lemon rose and Jasmine .


Grafting :
--------------


✳️ This method consists of attaching or tying up a scion with a stock i, A scion is a cutting of a young stem while a stock is the base of a rooted plants stem .the two parts join up after a few days and then grows as a single plant .A scion also called the graft and the stock must be of the same or related spaces .

✳️grafting is very useful if one wants to grow a new variety with certain desirable features such as the colour of a flower or the taste of a fruit .

✳️ Example: mango and rose .


Tissue Culture :
----------------------

✳️ many plant tissues such as the growing and of roots, shoots or buds pieces of a leaf or even single cells have the inherent ability to give rise to the old new plant when growth on a suitable growth our culture medium (plural media) .

✳️ This method is also known as micro propagation.

✳️ Example : fruit plants , ornamental plants and plants used in forestry .
