Vegetation, plant propagation (asexual reproduction)

PowerPoint presentation

1. PLANT propagation ISIAH MONIQUE BENUSA GRADE V-GOLD

2. PLANT PROPAGATION SEXUAL PROPAGATION Involves the use of floral parts to create a new plant from two parents. Commonly methods of propagating plants is through seeds. ASEXUAL PROPAGATION Involves the vegetative parts to create a new plant by only one parent. Types of vegetative propagation through artificial method includes: Bulbs Tubers Runners Suckers Corms Rhizomes Cuttings Grafting

3. Plant propagation(asexual) BULBS Round and fleshy stems that are found underneath the ground surrounded by leaves. Store nutrients for the plants. It simply grows by taking one bulb from a plant and planting it Example: onion

4. Plant propagation(asexual) TUBERS Swollen and enlarged fleshy underground stems Example: potato In a potato, the new stems starts from the “potato eye”. If a potato with a new growth from the eyes will be planted, a new potato will grow.

5. Plant propagation(asexual) RUNNERS OR STOLON Is an horizontal stem with buds. It grows along the surface of the ground where buds from a runner touch the soil and then roots, stems and leaves develop to form a new independent plant Example: Bermuda grass

6. Plant propagation(asexual) SHOOTS OR SUCKERS These are small plants that grow around the main plant. These shoots grow their roots and can be separated from the main plant Example: banana plant

7. Plant propagation(asexual) CORMS Are short and vertical stem Example: gabi

8. Plant propagation(asexual) RHIZOMES These are horizontal underground stems that can develop into new parts. They grow sideways into the soil and have a shoot. Example: ginger

9. Plant propagation(asexual) CUTTINGS Mature stems and leaves are cut and placed in water or moist sand. Roots grow from the base of stem or leaves and the other plant parts continue to develop. Example: gumamela

10. Plant propagation(asexual) GRAFTING A V-SHAPED cut is made into the stem of a healthy plant that is called the stock. The stem of another plant of the same type called scion is them trimmed and fitted into the cut. The grafted part is then bounded by a cloth. After some time, the two stems become one. Example: citrus, guyabano

11. Plant propagation(asexual) ADVANTAGES Faster and more certain method of propagation New individuals produced have exactly identical qualities as their parents. DISADVANTAGES Does not produce new varieties Leads to overcrowding around the parent plant
