  2. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

    Plant reproduction is the production of new offspring in plants, which can be accomplished by sexual or asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes , resulting in offspring genetically different from either parent.

  3. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    Fragmentation is seen in many organisms. Animals that reproduce asexually include planarians, many annelid worms including polychaetes [17] and some oligochaetes, [17] turbellarians and sea stars. Many fungi and plants reproduce asexually. Some plants have specialized structures for reproduction via fragmentation, such as gemmae in mosses and ...

  4. Plant reproductive morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproductive_morphology

    Plant reproductive morphology is the study of the physical form and structure (the morphology) of those parts of plants directly or indirectly concerned with sexual reproduction. Among all living organisms, flowers , which are the reproductive structures of angiosperms , are the most varied physically and show a correspondingly great diversity ...

  5. Reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction

    There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism. Asexual reproduction is not limited to single-celled organisms. The cloning of an organism is a form of asexual reproduction. By asexual reproduction, an organism creates a genetically similar ...

  6. Grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting

    Grafting or graftage [1] is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion (/ ˈ s aɪ ə n /) while the lower part is called the rootstock. The success of this joining requires that the vascular tissues grow together.

  7. Fragmentation (reproduction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation_(reproduction)

    Fragmentation in multicellular or colonial organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning, where an organism is split into fragments upon maturation and the split part becomes the new individual. The organism may develop specific organs or zones to shed or be easily broken off.

  8. Plant propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_propagation

    In some plants, seeds can be produced without fertilization and the seeds contain only the genetic material of the parent plant. Therefore, propagation via asexual seeds or apomixis is asexual reproduction but not vegetative propagation. [6] Softwood stem cuttings rooting in a controlled environment. Techniques for vegetative propagation include:

  9. Mating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_system

    The basic model is the mixed mating model, which is based on the assumption that every fertilisation is either self-fertilisation or completely random cross-fertilisation. More complex models relax this assumption; for example, the effective selfing model recognises that mating may be more common between pairs of closely related plants than ...
