Question

explain grafting, layering and micropropagation briefly​

Answer 1

Answer:

Layering, Grafting and Micropropagation

Explanation:

Grafting:

Grafting and budding are horticultural techniques used to join parts from two or more plants so that they appear to grow as a single plant. In grafting, the upper part (scion) of one plant grows on the root system (rootstock) of another plant. In the budding process, a bud is taken from one plant and grown on another.

Layering:

A branch of plant is pulled towards the ground and a part of it is covered with moist soil leaving the tip of branch exposed above the ground. After some time new root develops from the part of branch buried in the soil. The branch is then cut off from parent plant. For Ex:Jasmine,lemon,guava,Strawberry

Micropropagation:

Micropropagation is also called micro cloning or clonal propagation, is the vegetative propagation of plants by tissue culture techniques, using cells, tissues, organs, etc. Essentially, it involves the regeneration of plants from isolated meristematic or somatic cells or tissues.
