Question

Write a short note on vegetative propagation by leaves?

Answer 1

1. Vegetative propagation is the asexual mode of reproduction where non-reproductive parts like leaf, stem, root, or bud give rise to a new plant.
2. In the case of Bryophyllum, plantlets develop in the leaves' margin and gets detached, and becomes a new plant.
3. Thus when a Bryophyllum leaf falls on moist soil, the plantlets in the leaf margins will sprout into an entire plant.
