Asexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
orVegetative Propagation
Natural e.g. runners, tubers, plantlets, bulbs
![Page 2: Asexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants or Vegetative Propagation Natural e.g. runners, tubers, plantlets, bulbs.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649d8d5503460f94a76512/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Learning objectives
• State that vegetative propagation is asexual reproduction
• Give one example of vegetative propagation from stem, root, leaf, bud
• Compare reproduction by seed and by vegetative reproduction
• Outline four methods of artificial propagation in flowering plants

What happens?
• Part of the plant becomes separated from the parent plant and divides by mitosis to grow into a new plant
• As a result the offspring are genetically identical to the parent

Parts of the parent plant may be specially modified for this purpose:
1. Stem2. Root3. Leaf4. Bud

1. Modified StemsRunners
• horizontal, running over the soil surface
• terminal bud of the runner sends up new shoots
• e.g. strawberry, creeping buttercup.

Modified Stem (continued)
Stem Tubers• swollen underground
stem tips• buds (eyes) produce
new shoots • e.g. potato

2. Modified RootsRoot Tuber• swollen fibrous roots • the tuber stores food,
but the new plant develops from a side bud at the base of the old stem
• e.g. dahlia, lesser celandine

Note:Tap Roots e.g. carrot and turnip, are swollen roots for food storage in biennial plants… they are not reproductive organs

3. Modified LeavesPlantlets
• Some plants produce plantlets along the edges of the leaves
• Plantlets reach a certain size, fall off and grow into new plants
• e.g. Lily, kalanchoe (mother of thousands)

4. Modified BudsBulbs
• A bulb contains an underground stem, reduced in size
• Leaves are swollen with stored food
• e.g. onion, daffodil, tulip

4. Modified BudsBulbs
• The main bud (apical bud) will grow into a new shoot)
• The side buds (lateral buds) will also grow into new shoots

Comparison of reproduction by seed (sexual) and by vegetative
propagation (asexual)
![Page 18: Asexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants or Vegetative Propagation Natural e.g. runners, tubers, plantlets, bulbs.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649d8d5503460f94a76512/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sexual (seed) Asexual (vegetative)
Cross pollination ensures variation (allows evolution)
No variations – can be advantage in commercial horticulture
More resistant to diseaseAll plants are of same species susceptible to disease
Dispersal reduces competition
Overcrowding and competition
Seeds can remain dormant and survive unfavourable conditions
No seeds formed – no dormancy
Advantage to seed formation

Sexual (seed) Asexual (vegetative)
Complex process Simple process
Depends on outside agents for seed dispersal
No outside agents needed
Slow growth of young plants to maturity
Rapid growth
Wasteful e.g. petals, pollen, fruit
No waste
Advantage to vegetative propagation

Vegetative propagation
Artificial used by gardeners to propagate plants
e.g. cuttings, layering, grafting and budding
![Page 21: Asexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants or Vegetative Propagation Natural e.g. runners, tubers, plantlets, bulbs.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649d8d5503460f94a76512/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cuttings• Parts of a plant (usually
shoots) removed from plant allowed to form new roots and leaves
• rooted in water, well-watered compost, or rooting powder
• e.g. busy lizzie, geranium

Grafting• Part of one plant (scion)
is removed and attached to a healthy, rooted part of a second plant (stock)
• Useful qualities from both plants combined into one e.g. rose flower and thorn-less stem
• e.g. apple trees 23

Layering
• A branch of a plant is bent over and pinned to the earth at a node
• When roots develop the branch is separated from the parent plant.
• Useful for the propagation of woody plants • e.g. blackberry, gooseberry.

Micropropagation (Tissue Culture) (1/3)
• Cells removed from plant and grown as a tissue culture in a special medium
• Growth regulators and nutrients added so that growing cells form a group of similar cells called a callus
27
![Page 28: Asexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants or Vegetative Propagation Natural e.g. runners, tubers, plantlets, bulbs.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649d8d5503460f94a76512/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Micropropagation (Tissue Culture) (2/3)
• Different growth regulators are then added so that this tissue develops into a plantlet
• Plantlet can be divided up again to produce many identical plants
• Entire plant can be grown from a small piece of stem, leaf or root tissue
• Used in mass production of house plants and crops such as bananas and strawberries

Micropropagation (Tissue Culture) (3/3)
• Provides a larger number of plants more quickly than cuttings.
• Can be used to check cells for a particular feature e.g. resistance to chemicals or a particular disease

Cloning
• All offspring genetically identical - produced asexually
• Clones are produced by mitosis• All the offspring from the various methods of
vegetative reproduction (both natural and artificial) mentioned are examples of clones
