  2. 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 ...

  3. Nucellar embryony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucellar_embryony

    Nucellar embryony (notated Nu+) is a form of seed reproduction that occurs in certain plant species, including many citrus varieties. Nucellar embryony is a type of apomixis , where eventually nucellar embryos from the nucellus tissue of the ovule are formed, independent of meiosis and sexual reproduction . [ 1 ]

  4. Selection methods in plant breeding based on mode of reproduction

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

    In the absence of sexual reproduction, the genetic composition of plant material being multiplied remains essentially the same as its source plant. Clones of mother plants can be made with the exact genetic composition of the mother plant. Superior plants are selected and propagated vegetatively; the vegetative propagated offspring are used to ...

  5. Plant reproductive morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproductive_morphology

    Plant reproductive morphology is the study of the physical form and structure (the morphology) of those parts of plants directly or indirectly concerned with sexual reproduction. Among all living organisms, flowers , which are the reproductive structures of angiosperms , are the most varied physically and show a correspondingly great diversity ...

  6. Vegetative reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetative_reproduction

    Vegetative reproduction (also known as vegetative propagation, vegetative multiplication or cloning) is a form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment or cutting of the parent plant or specialized reproductive structures, which are sometimes called vegetative propagules. [1] [2] [3]

  7. Reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction

    Reproduction (or procreation or breeding) is the biological process by which new individual organisms – "offspring" – are produced from their "parent" or parents. There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism.

  8. Apomixis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apomixis

    Agamospermy, asexual reproduction through seeds, occurs in flowering plants through many different mechanisms [4] and a simple hierarchical classification of the different types is not possible. Consequently, there are almost as many different usages of terminology for apomixis in angiosperms as there are authors on the subject.

  9. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    Apomixis in plants is the formation of a new sporophyte without fertilization. It is important in ferns and in flowering plants, but is very rare in other seed plants. In flowering plants, the term "apomixis" is now most often used for agamospermy, the formation of seeds without fertilization, but was once used to include vegetative reproduction.
