artificial propagation

Artificial Vegetative Propagation or Cloning - Vegetative propagation produces the next generation that is genetically identical to the parent. Such an organism that is genetically identical to the parent is called a clone. In case of plants with advantageous character..

Vegetative propagation produces the next generation that is genetically identical to the parent. Such an organism that is genetically identical to the parent is called a clone. In case of plants with advantageous characteristics, the characteristics can be preserved by producing clones. T..

It refers to artificial propagation of plants vegetatively through the culture of cell or tissue. It is most useful, when normal propagation takes long time or the success in fertilization is very poor as seen in many valuable plants useful in agriculture, hortic..

Micropropagation - It refers to artificial propagation of plants vegetatively through the culture of cell or tissue. It is most useful, when normal propagation takes long time or the success in fertilization is very poor as seen in many valuable plants useful in agricu..

New individuals are produced from a single parent without the act of fusion of gametes. The new individuals so formed are generally identical to the parent plant, as only mitotic divisions take place during their development. Regeneration of new plants from portions of vegetative organs is very com..

It is the transfer of a part of one plant to the stump of another plant. The part taken from a plant is a portion of the stem with many buds. This portion is called scion and is selected for the quality of its fruit. The stump to which the scion is attached is called the stock. Stock is selected f..

Points to Remember - Modes of reproduction in plants can be grouped into 2 types a) asexual b) sexual reproduction Regeneration of new plants from portions of vegetative organs is very common. Runner, rhizome, bulbs, corns and tubers serve as means of propagation. A population of genetica..

Summary - Reproduction occurs by vegetative propagation, asexual and sexual reproduction. Vegetative propagation through artificial method can be done by cuttings, layering and grafting. Pollination refers to the transference of pollen grains from the anther of a flowe..

. The spores also help in tiding over unfavourable conditions as they are covered with a thick wall. Fragmentation takes place in some lower plants and animals such as some worms. The mature organism breaks up into two or more pieces or fragments. The fragments then grow into complete organisms. Re..

An organism, in which number of complete chromosome sets is more than the diploid number is called polyploid. It is usual practice to express the chromosome number of an organism in diploid, symbolically represented by 2n. In all sexually propagated crops, such expression is of specific s..
