Name the parts of the plant involved in the vegetative propogation in
the following examples.
1. Sweet potato 2. Bryophyllum 3 Potato
Answers
Answer:
Sweet potato : Root
Bryophyllum : Corner of the leaves
potato: potato tubers
Explanation:
1. sweet potato :
Stem tubers grow from rhizomes or runners that swell from storing nutrients while root tubers propagate from roots that are modified to store nutrients and get too large and produce a new plant. Examples of stem tubers are potatoes and yams and examples of root tubers are sweet potatoes and dahlias.
2. bryophyllum :
Potato is a stem tuber growing undergrounnd whcih have sevearl buds called eyes. These buds develop into new plants when buries under the soil. Bryophyllum propagates vegetatively by the formation of leaf buds on the margins of a leaf. When the buds come in contact with the soil, each of them grow into a new plant.
3. potato :
Potatoes are indigenous to the Andean regions of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, extending northward to the southern Rocky Mountains. Cultivated potato, Solanum tuberosum L., is a highly heterozygous tetraploid (4x = 48), belongs to the Solanaceae family together with other crops like tomato and peppers. Potatoes are adapted to an array of climates and are utilized in many ways. The potato tuber is not only the principal mean for potato propagation, but also a major human food source. Potatoes are mainly propagated by vegetative methods (cloning). Potato tubers have nodes or eyes from which the new growth begins. The new stems growing from each eye are called sprouts which giver rise to the new plant. Vegetative seed can be either a whole tuber or a cut tuber. Physiological age of seed is influenced by growing conditions, handling, storage and cutting procedures, and it has an impact on how the new crop grows. Sexual propagation occurs by means of botanical or sexual seed. Most potato cultivars produce fruit; each seed will develop into a plant with unique characteristics. This is a process very useful in crop improvements in breeding programs, but its genotypic variation is of little value to growers. Tissue culture is another method which permits a very rapid propagation. This method is used to maintain disease free seed stock, which can be then stored in vitro and be used when is needed.
