Question

Vegetative reproduction and it's types​

Answer 1

$\large\underline\orange{\mathcal Vegetative\: Reproduction}$

Vegetative reproduction is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant or a specialized reproductive structure. Many plants naturally reproduce this way, but it can also be induced artificially.

It is of Three types :-

• Fragmentation
• Budding
• Fission

Answer 2

Vegetative reproduction (also known as vegetative propagation, vegetative multiplication or vegetative cloning) is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant or a specialized reproductive structure.[1]

Many plants naturally reproduce this way, but it can also be induced artificially. Horticulturalists have developed asexual propagation techniques that use vegetative plant parts to replicate plants. Success rates and difficulty of propagation vary greatly.Monocotyledons typically lack a vascular cambium and therefore are harder to propagate.

RhizomesEdit

Rhizomes are stem-like structures that grows horizontally across the ground and from which new roots and shoots may arise. They serve as protein and starch storage units serving as a nutrient source for newly developed plants.[19]

Examples of plants that use rhizomes are ginger, lilies and irises.

RunnersEdit

Also known as stolons, runners are modified stems that, unlike rhizomes, grow from existing stems just below the soil surface. As they are propagated, the buds on the modified stems produce roots and stems. Those buds are more separated than the ones found on the rhizome.[20]

Examples of plants that use runners are strawberries and currants.

BulbsEdit

Bulbs are inflated parts of the stem within which lie the central shoots of new plants. They are typically underground and are surrounded by plump and layered leaves that provide nutrients to the new plant.[21]

Examples of plants that use bulbs are shallots, lilies and tulips.
