  2. Vegetative reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetative_reproduction

    Vegetative reproduction (also known as vegetative propagation, vegetative multiplication or cloning) is a form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment or cutting of the parent plant or specialized reproductive structures, which are sometimes called vegetative propagules. [1] [2] [3]

  3. Plant propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_propagation

    Plant propagation is the process by which new plants grow from various sources, including seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts. Plant propagation can refer to both man-made and natural processes. Plant propagation can refer to both man-made and natural processes.

  4. Layering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layering

    Layering is a vegetative propagation technique where the stem or branch of a plant is manipulated to promote root development while still attached to the parent plant. Once roots are established, the new plant can be detached from the parent and planted.

  5. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

    Asexual reproduction in plants occurs in two fundamental forms, vegetative reproduction and agamospermy. [1] Vegetative reproduction involves a vegetative piece of the original plant producing new individuals by budding, tillering, etc. and is distinguished from apomixis, which is a replacement of sexual reproduction, and in some cases involves ...

  6. Fragmentation (reproduction) - Wikipedia

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

    Fragmentation is a very common type of vegetative reproduction in plants. Many trees, shrubs, nonwoody perennials, and ferns form clonal colonies by producing new rooted shoots by rhizomes or stolons, which increases the diameter of the colony. If a rooted shoot becomes detached from the colony, then fragmentation has occurred. There are ...

  7. Cutting (plant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_(plant)

    A magnolia stem cutting has been coaxed to form new roots, and is now a complete plant. Cutting from Coleus scutellarioides – after 14 days the roots are 6 cm long.. A plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is used in horticulture for vegetative (asexual) propagation.

  8. Aerial stem modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_stem_modification

    Aerial stem modifications are modifications to the aerial stems, [1] vegetative buds and floral buds of plants growing in different conditions and which perform functions such as climbing, protection, support, synthesis of food, or vegetative propagation. [2] [3] Aerial stem structures that undergo modifications to perform these special ...

  9. Basal shoot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_shoot

    Tree roots ordinarily grow outward from their trunks a distance of 1.5 to 2 times their heights, and therefore root sprouts can emerge a substantial distance from the trunk. [citation needed] This is a phenomenon of natural "asexual reproduction", also denominated "vegetative reproduction". It is a strategy of plant propagation.
