Episcia is a genus of flowering plants in the African violet family, Gesneriaceae. The ten species it contains are native to the tropical regions of Central and South America . The species are perennial herbaceous plants characterized by a stoloniferous habit, red (rarely orange, pink, blue or yellow) flowers, and frequently have marked or ...
Vascular plants (from Latin vasculum 'duct'), also called tracheophytes (UK: / ˈ t r æ k iː ə ˌ f aɪ t s /, [5] US: / ˈ t r eɪ k iː ə ˌ f aɪ t s /) [6] or collectively tracheophyta (/ ˌ t r eɪ k iː ˈ ɒ f ɪ t ə /; [7] [8] [9] from Ancient Greek τραχεῖα ἀρτηρία (trakheîa artēría) 'windpipe' and φυτά (phutá) 'plants'), [9] are plants that have lignified ...
The propagation of shoots or nodal segments is usually performed in four stages for mass production of plantlets through in vitro vegetative multiplication but organogenesis is a standard method of micropropagation that involves tissue regeneration of adventitious organs or axillary buds directly or indirectly from the explants.
Division, in horticulture and gardening, is a method of asexual plant propagation, where the plant (usually an herbaceous perennial) [1] is broken up into two or more parts. Each part has an intact root and crown. [2] The technique is of ancient origin, and has long been used to propagate bulbs such as garlic and saffron.
Micropropagation has a number of advantages over traditional plant propagation techniques: The main advantage of micropropagation is the production of many plants that are clones of each other. Micropropagation can be used to produce disease-free plants.
Fittonia (or nerve plant or mosaic plant) is a genus of evergreen perennial flowering plants in the acanthus ('bear’s britches') family, Acanthaceae.The genus is native to tropical and subtropical forested areas in northern and western South America, mainly Perú.
When propagating plants to increase a stock of a cultivar, thus seeking identical copies of parent plant, various cloning techniques (asexual reproduction) are used. Offsets are a natural means by which plants may be cloned. In contrast, when propagating plants to create new cultivars, sexual reproduction through pollination is used to create ...
