      Vegetative Propagation<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • It is an asexual method of plant reproduction that occurs in its leaves, roots and stem.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • It is often used when the crop plants either do not produce seeds or when the seeds produced are not viable or are of long dormancy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Some of the commonly seen examples <\/strong>of Vegetative Propagation are\n
          \n
        • Roses<\/strong> are often multiplied by planting their cuttings which include stem cuttings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Mint plant<\/strong>, which is seen in the kitchen garden grows and spreads quickly with the help of its underground stems called stolons, which grow roots and leaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Tulips<\/strong> are grown on a large scale for ornamental purpose by colelcting their Bulbs and then planting them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Cherry and Apple trees can be propagated using shoots called suckers, which are found at the base of the tree.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Vegetative propagation can be practised most of the year. Vegetative propagation can occur naturally or be induced artificially<\/strong> by a technique called Artificial Vegetative Propagation.\n
            \n
          • Natural Vegetative Propagation<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • This occurs when plants grow and develop naturally without any human interference<\/strong>. Natural vegetative propagation can be enabled by the development of adventitious roots. Thus, new plants may emerge from the roots, stem and leaves <\/strong>of the parent plant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • The vegetative plant structures arising from the stem are known as rhizomes, bulbs, runners, tubers, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Artificial Vegetative Propagation<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • This is a type of vegetative reproduction carried out by humans in the fields and laboratories.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • The part of a plant that is used for artificial vegetative propagation is called vegetative propagule. These methods are beneficial to retain desirable traits like flavor, color, disease resistance<\/strong>, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • The widespread use of vegetative propagation results in the spread of viruses<\/strong> through propagules such as cuttings, tubers, runners and bulbs. A plant once systemically infected with a virus usually remains infected for its lifetime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • It is the process of asexual reproduction by multiplication of genetically identical copies of individual plants.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • It occurs by apomixis <\/strong>(seed development without meiosis and fertilization) and\/or vegetative reproduction (regeneration of new plants from vegetative parts).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
