explain the vegetative reproduction through cutting, grafting and layering
Answers
Vegetative reproduction is a kind of asexual reproduction. ... Vegetative reproduction uses mitosis. This means that the newly created cell is a clone, and identical to the parent cell. Some plants put out new roots underground, have bulbs, or grow new vines and shoots above ground.
Cutting:A small part of a plant which is removed by making a cut with a sharp knife is called cutting.
Grafting:In this the cut stem of two different plants(One with root and other without root)are joined together in such a way that the two stems join and grow as a single plant.
Layering: is a technique of plant propagation where the new plant remains at least partially attached to the mother plant while forming new roots and can occur naturally through modified stem structures

This is a type of vegetative reproduction carried out by humans on the fields and laboratories. The most common types of vegetative reproduction occurring artificially include:
1.Cutting : In this, a part of a plant, specifically a stem or leaf is cut and planted in the soil. These cuttings are sometimes treated with hormones to induce root development. The new plant is formed from the adventitious roots developing from the cutting.
2.Grafting : In this, the cutting from some other plant is attached to the stem of plant rooted in the ground. The tissues of the graft become integrated with the tissues of the rooted plant and develop as a single plant over time.
3.Layering :In this, the stem of the plant is bent to the ground and covered with soil. Adventitious roots emerge from the plant parts covered with the soil. This attached stem with developing roots is known as a layer.
