Vegatative Reproduction
Vegatative reproduction is the growth of new plants from a part of a parent plant.Many plants develop underground food storage organs which over winter and develop into the following year's plant.
There are four types of vegatative reproduction :
Plantlets:These can be a form of runners.Example: strawberry.
Cuttings:Roots,stems or leaves can be broken off a parent plant and placed in soil or water until a new root system appears.
Grafting:Grafting or graftage is a horticultural technique whereby tissues from one plant are inserted into those of another so that the two sets of vascular tissues may join together. This vascular joining is called inosculation. The technique is most commonly used in asexual propagation of commercially grown plants for the horticultural and agricultural trades.
Tissue Culture:Tissue culture is the growth of tissues or cells separate from the organism. This is typically facilitated via use of a liquid, semi-solid, or solid growth medium, such as broth or agar. Tissue culture commonly refers to the culture of animal cells and tissues, with the more specific term plant tissue culture being used for plants.
