Question

Name the vegetative propagules of the following... Agave.... Bryophyllum......sweet potato.....onion......banana

Answer 1

Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction in plants in which new plants are formed without the formation the spores or seeds, that is without syngamy. Since the offsprings are genetically same as their parents, they are called as clones.

Explanation:

• Vegetative propagules are the structures of the plant which forms the new plant in vegetative reproduction.
• In Agave - Bulbils. Bulbils are vegetative propagules which forms on the axis of its leaves, which separates from the parent plant to form a new plant.
• In Bryophyllum - leaf buds. Small leaf buds are formed on the axis of leaves, which forms new plants.
• Sweet Potato - adventitious roots.
• Onions - Bulbs.
• Banana - Rhizomes. It is a reduced underground stem which gives rise to new banana plants.

Answer 2

Answer:

▪︎The vegetative propagules of Agave are the bulbils .

▪︎The part of bryophyllum that is used for vegetative propagation is leaf. And the vegetative propagules are buds .

▪︎Vegetative buds are present on the modified, thickened roots of a sweet potato plant .

▪︎Onion undergoes vegetative propagation by underground bulbs. It is an underground modified stem. It has terminal bud which is enclosed by fleshy scales.

▪︎Banana is traditionally propagated through pups or pieces of the rhizome. This is the most common propagation materials in banana propagation.
