  2. Budding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budding

    Budding or blastogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. For example, the small bulb-like projection coming out from the yeast cell is known as a bud.

  3. Bud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud

    European beech (Fagus sylvatica) bud. In botany, a bud is an undeveloped or embryonic shoot and normally occurs in the axil of a leaf or at the tip of a stem.Once formed, a bud may remain for some time in a dormant condition, or it may form a shoot immediately.

  4. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    Budding is also known on a multicellular level; an animal example is the hydra, [10] which reproduces by budding. The buds grow into fully matured individuals which eventually break away from the parent organism. Internal budding is a process of asexual reproduction, favoured by parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii.

  5. Agricultural cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_cycle

    A grafted plant consists of two parts: first rootstock, which is the lower part of the plant that comprises roots and the lowest part of the shoot; second, the branches and primary stem, which consists of the upper and main part of the shoot which gradually develops into a fully nourished plant. [1] Budding is another form of asexual ...

  6. Plant development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

    On top of the gradual growth of the plant, the image reveals the true meaning of phototropism and cell elongation, meaning the light energy from the sun is causing the growing plant to bend towards the light aka elongate. Plant growth and development are mediated by specific plant hormones and plant growth regulators (PGRs) (Ross et al. 1983). [10]

  7. Gemmule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemmule

    Gemmules are resistant to desiccation (drying out), freezing, and anoxia (lack of oxygen) and can lie around for long periods of time.Gemmules are analogous to a bacterium's endospore and are made up of amoebocytes surrounded by a layer of spicules and can survive conditions that would kill adult sponges.

  8. Epicormic shoot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicormic_shoot

    Epicormic shoots sprouting vigorously from epicormic buds beneath the bushfire damaged bark on the trunk of a Eucalyptus tree. An epicormic shoot is a shoot growing from an epicormic bud, which lies underneath the bark of a trunk, stem, or branch of a plant.

  9. Sexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_reproduction

    They are small plants found growing in moist locations and like ferns, have motile sperm with flagella and need water to facilitate sexual reproduction. These plants start as a haploid spore that grows into the dominant gametophyte form, which is a multicellular haploid body with leaf-like structures that photosynthesize. Haploid gametes are ...
