Tissue Culture or Micro Propagation

The production of new plants from special tissues in the synthetic nutritive medium containing plant nutrients and plant hormones is called tissue culture or micro propagation. In this technique some plant cells or plant tissues are taken from the meristamatic regions...

Artificial Vegetative Propagation

Artificial vegetative propagation is the deliberate production of new plants from parts of old plants by humans. This can be done by following three methods:     1. Cutting    2. Layering    3. Grafting CuttingThe part of the plant which is removed by cutting it from...

Vegetative Propagation

Vegetative reproduction is the method of obtaining new plants from the parts (such as stems, roots and leaves) of an old plant, without any type of involvement of sex organs. Thus this method of reproduction is used in the production of higher plants from the...

Fragmentation and Regeneration

Fragmentation Fragmentation may be defined as the process of breaking up of parent animal into small parts, each of which can grow into a new complete individual. This process of asexual reproduction is found in planaria and hydra. RegenerationRegeneration may be...

Spore Formation

Spore formation is a method of asexual reproduction which is found in non flowering plants such as fungi (Rhizopus) and bacteria. In this method of reproduction, the parent plant produces hundreds of tiny spores which can grow into new plants. The spores are the...

Budding

Budding may be defined as the process in which a small part of the body of the parent organism grows out as a small projection called ‘bud’ which when detaches becomes a new organism. This method of asexual reproduction is found in hydra, sponges, flatworms and yeast....
