Topics in Reproduction In Plants

1

  • Reproduction means producing young ones of the same kind.
  • Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and no fusion of gametes.
  • Sexual reproduction involves two parents and fusion of male and female gametes.

2. Asexual Reproduction in Plants

  • Binary fission occurs in bacteria.
  • In binary fission, the nucleus splits into two and the cell splits into two identical daughter cells.
  • Multiple fission occurs in Chlorella and Chlamydomonas, where one cell divides into four daughter cells.

3. Natural Vegetative Propagation

  • Vegetative reproduction can occur through stem, leaf, or root.
  • Ginger, potato, and onion are modified stems because they store food and help in vegetative propagation.
  • Ginger has nodes, internodes, scaly leaves, and axillary buds at the nodes.
4

4. Artificial Vegetative Propagation

  • Cutting, layering, grafting, and micro-propagation are artificial methods of vegetative propagation.
  • In cutting, a stem piece with an axillary bud is planted in moist soil and grows into a new plant.
  • In layering, a branch is bent to the ground, covered with soil, and later cut from the parent plant after roots form.
