People use fragmentation to artificially propagate many plants via division, layering, cuttings, grafting, micropropagation and storage organs, such as bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes. Many algae too, spirogyra for example also fragment, the mother plant breaks into two or more smaller fragments which then grow independently. After growing ...
It is normally found in stems, leaves, and tips of stems and roots and consists of undifferentiated cells that are constantly dividing allowing for plant growth and give rise to plant tissue systems. The meristem tissue's ability to continuously divide allows for vegetative propagation to occur.
The cell plate will transform into the new cell wall once cytokinesis is complete. The phragmoplast is a plant cell specific structure that forms during late cytokinesis. It serves as a scaffold for cell plate assembly and subsequent formation of a new cell wall separating the two daughter cells.
Below are a couple of examples of irregular fragmentation that can occur in cells. 1. Red blood cell fragmentation A blood smear from a patient with hemolytic anemia, showing schistocytes A fragmented red blood cell is known as a schistocyte and is generally the result of an intracellular mechanical injury to the red blood cell.

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 ...
The terminal cell elongates more than the deeper cells; then the production of a lateral bisector takes place in the inner fluid, which tends to divide the cell into two parts, of which the deeper one remains stationary, while the terminal part elongates again, forms a new inner partition, and so on.
Apoptosis Inducing Factor (AIF) is a protein that triggers chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation in a cell in order to induce programmed cell death. The mitochondrial AIF protein was found to be a caspase-independent death effector that can allow independent nuclei to undergo apoptotic changes. The process triggering apoptosis starts ...
This is because in a plant cell there is no cleavage furrow or pinching of the plasma membrane, rather a cell plate forms in the middle of the cell that then allows the division into two daughter cells. [6] The cell plate formation occurs due to vesicles budding from the golgi apparatus [7] and adding to the plant cell in a centrifugal manner ...
