Types of Vegetative Reproduction
Propagation by Rhizome
Rhizomes are horizontal stems that grow under the ground,often sending out roots and shoots from their nodes.
The plant uses the rhizome to store strach, protein and other nutrients.
The rhizomes have buds on them and they give rise to new plants that are genetical copies of the parent plant.
It is observed on some plants such as ginger, couch grass and banana
Propagation by Runners or Stolons
Their horizontal stems grow above ground along the soil
surface and
produce adventitious roots and new shoots. For example: strawberry.
Propagation by Bulb
The bulb is a shortened underground storage stems. These are enclosed with fleshy, concentric layered leaves.
As the mature plants gets to the end of its life, the bud develops into smaller bulb that attaches to the base of the parent bulb. The new bulb can be separated and planted.
Propagation by Tuber
For example, potatoes has eyes called nods and these parts grows buds that can grow a new potato plant by vegetative reproduction.
Propagation by cutting :
(Artificial)
Cutting involves removing a piece of the parent plant - stem, root or leaf, and planting it in a suitable medium.
Propagation by layering (Artificial)
This is the method of vegetative propagation in which branch of a parent plant is bent to the ground or water until it can be covered by soil and new root system appears.
Propagation by grafting (Artificial)
Two plants are used to develop a new plant with combined traits from the parent plants. In grafting one plant attached on to body of the other plant.
Tissue Culture
is a method of biological research in which the fragments of tissue from an animal or plant are transferred to an artificial environment in which they can continue to survive and function
