VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION

* Vegetative reproduction is the production of new plant using any part of a plant except the seeds.

* Vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction since no gametes are used.

* 8 types of vegetative reproduction : * Runners / stolons * Rhizomes * Corms * Bulbs * Leaves * Suckers * Stem tubers * Stem

* RUNNERS / STOLONS

Runners are stems which grow horizontally over the surface of the ground.
Shoots and roots of the young plant grow from the nodes of the runners.
Example : strawberry plant, sweet potato, grass, Indian pennywort (pegaga).

* RHIZOMES

A rhizomes is a horizontal underground storage stem which scale leaves and buds.
The buds grow into shoots above the ground and produce new daughter plants.
Example : ginger, lallang, turmeric, asparagus, lemon grass (serai).

* CORMS

A corm is a thick, short and swollen underground stem that grow upright containing food reserves.
Under suitable conditions, the buds use the food reserves and grow into new aerial shoots producing leaves and flowers.
Example : water chestnut, yam.

* Bulbs
A bulb is a modified stem made up of flattened disc-like stem and leaves swollen with food.
Young buds can develop into new plants.
Example : onion, garlic, shallot.

* LEAVES

Plants which reproduce by leaves have thick and fleshy leaves.
New plants grow at the sides of mature leaves.
Example : Bryophyllum , begonia , aloe vera.

* SUCKERS

A sucker is a new shoot which grows from the underground part of the stem.
The sucker grows upwards and becomes a new plant.
Example : banana plant, bamboo, pineapple plant.

* STEM TUBERS

A stem tuber is a swollen underground stem with scale leaves and buds.
The buds can grow into

    The zygote divides multiple times by mitosis in order to produce an embryo. The embryo then differentiates to become a plumule, radicle, and/ or one or two cotyledons, which is attached to the wall of the embryo sac by a suspensor. Endosperm tissue is produced by the primary endosperm nucleus dividing multiple times by mitosis. This endosperm stores food for later use by the seed in some cases. It may gradually disappear as the cotyledons develop in others. The embryo sac expands to support growth, and the nucellus is crushed out of existence, which in return give nutrients to the embryo and endosperm. The integuments that surround the embryo sac become a tough, protective seed coat called testa. The micropyle is not removed to continue the intake of oxygen and water at germination. The water content of the seed decreases to prepare the seed for dormancy. The wall of the ovary becomes the pericarp, which is the fruit wall with the entire ovary now being fruit. The fruit protects the seeds and aid in…

    Plants reproduce by pollination, also called fertilization, which is the transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma. A pollen grand produces a pollen tube. Eventually sperm will be discharged near the embryo sac and pollen develops. Products are seeds and fruits. Another way to reproduce is self-fertilization, which unfortunately is difficult for most plants due to…

    Over the course of one week, the stem lengths of the plants grown with dim lighting were considerably longer than those grown in full light (Figure 1). The means of the two groups were compared using an unpaired t-test (Mean full light= 2.86cm, Mean dim light= 4.68cm, p<0.0001). The cotyledon mass of the fast plant grown in full florescent light more than doubled the mass of the plant grown in dim lighting.…

    Today we rarely need to wait for anything; parcels arrive almost as soon as we’ve clicked ‘purchase’, information is at our fingertips, 24/7, and we are only ever moments away from every TV programme we have ever missed. But, thankfully, nature resolutely refuses to move into the crazy speed of the twenty first century and will not be rushed. Watching the slow development of a plant and playing a part in its thriving, lovingly nurturing it, offers a valuable opportunity to slow down and reconnect to natural rhythms and to a more mindful…
