Question:
Write note on reproduction in lower and higher plants?
Answer:
Introduction :-
Reproduction : - Reproduction is the production of young ones like parents.
Two categories of Reproduction :-
1) Asexual Reproduction 2) Sexual Reproduction
1.1 Asexual Reproduction
Definition : It is the process resulting in the production of genetically identical progeny from a single organism and inherits the genes of the parent.
Clones : Morphologically and genetically identical individuals.
Different Modes a Asexual Reproduction : -
1) Fragmentation : - When multicellular organisms break into fragments, these fragments grow into new individuals.
Example - Spirogyra
2) Budding : - This mode of reproduction occurs by producing one or more outgrowths (buds) from the parent body. These buds on seperation develop into new individual.
Example - Yeast
3) Spore Formation : Reproduction that occurs by flagellated, motile zoospores which can grow independently into new individuals.
Example : Chlamydomonas .
Other methods of Asexual Reproduction
Binary Fission - Amoeba, Paramoecium
Conidia Formation - Penicillium
Gemmules Formation - Sponges
VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
This mode of reproduction occurs in plants through their vegetative parts.
New plants formed are genetically identical to their parents.
Artificial Methods of Reproduction in Plants :
A. Cutting :
The small piece of any vegetative part of a plant having one or more buds is used for propagation.
Stem cutting - Rose, Bougainvillea , Leaf Cutting - Sansvieria , Root Cutting - Blackberry
B. Grafting :
Here parts of two plants are joined in such a way that they grow as one plant.
Process : Part of stem containing more than one bud (Scion) is joined onto a rooted plant called stock, is called Grafting.
When only one bud is joined on the stock , it is called bud grafting.
Eg: Apple, pear, rose, etc.
C. Tissue culture :
In this method a small amount of plant tissue is carefully grown to give many plant lets.
Micropropagation method is also used now a days.
