  2. Vegetative reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetative_reproduction

    The meristem tissue's ability to continuously divide allows for vegetative propagation to occur. [10] Another important ability that allows for vegetative propagation is the ability to develop adventitious roots which arise from other vegetative parts of the plants such as the stem or leaves. These roots allow for the development of new plants ...

  3. Layering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layering

    Layering is a vegetative propagation technique where the stem or branch of a plant is manipulated to promote root development while still attached to the parent plant. Once roots are established, the new plant can be detached from the parent and planted.

  4. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

    Asexual reproduction in plants occurs in two fundamental forms, vegetative reproduction and agamospermy. [1] Vegetative reproduction involves a vegetative piece of the original plant producing new individuals by budding, tillering, etc. and is distinguished from apomixis, which is a replacement of sexual reproduction, and in some cases involves ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_methods_in_plant...

    Superior plants are selected and propagated vegetatively; the vegetative propagated offspring are used to develop stable varieties without any deterioration due to segregation of gene combinations. This unique characteristic of asexual reproduction helped to develop a number of cultivars of fruits and vegetables including grapes , apples ...

  6. Plant development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

    Propagation via root cuttings requires adventitious bud formation, e.g., in horseradish and apple. In layering, adventitious roots are formed on aerial stems before the stem section is removed to make a new plant. Large houseplants are often propagated by air layering. Adventitious roots and buds must develop in tissue culture propagation of ...

  7. Plant propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_propagation

    Plant propagation is the process by which new plants grow from various sources, including seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts. Plant propagation can refer to both man-made and natural processes. Plant propagation can refer to both man-made and natural processes.

  8. Cutting (plant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_(plant)

    A magnolia stem cutting has been coaxed to form new roots, and is now a complete plant. Cutting from Coleus scutellarioides – after 14 days the roots are 6 cm long.. A plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is used in horticulture for vegetative (asexual) propagation.

  9. Plant tissue culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_tissue_culture

    The propagation of shoots or nodal segments is usually performed in four stages for mass production of plantlets through in vitro vegetative multiplication but organogenesis is a standard method of micropropagation that involves tissue regeneration of adventitious organs or axillary buds directly or indirectly from the explants.
