Study Notes
- Most cultivated plants reproduce sexually through seeds, but some species reproduce apomictically through asexual methods.
- Apomictic reproduction is characterized by the lack of fertilization and occurs in organisms with sexual differentiation.
- Agamospermia refers to seed production without fertilization.
- Parthenogenesis and apogametion are types of agamospermia where the seed embryo is born from the egg cells of the embryo sac or other cells of the embryo sac, respectively.
- Adventitious embryogenesis is characteristic of organisms where seed embryos are produced without fertilization from somatic cells.
- Vegetative reproduction is another type of apomictic reproduction, where plants use specialized organs or parts of organs for natural vegetative reproduction.
- Transplantation, including grafting, is an artificial system of vegetative multiplication used in viticulture and fruit growing.
- Meristematic propagation is an artificial apomictic propagation where tissues or meristematic cells are detached and grown on a suitable nutrient medium.
- Apomictic propagation and vegetative propagation have special advantages for plant improvement, especially in perpetuating valuable plants and maintaining certain properties and valuable characters.
- The phenomenon of apomixis is genetically controlled, and hereditary conservatism is not absolute, depending on the hereditary conservatism of the initial mother plant.
- Natural somatic mutations can occur in cultivated plants, leading to frequent bud variations.
- Somatic mutations usually occur in one layer of cells and are only partially expressed.
- Transplantation can sometimes cause mutations to be transferred to the epidermal area.
- Spontaneous mutagenesis allows for diversification and adaptation potentials in vegetatively reproducing species.
- Orthotropy and plagiotropy are transmitted along vegetative multiplications in some species.
- Vegetative multiplication can lead to the accumulation of cytoplasmic accidents.
- Cytoplasmic accidents are often due to the presence of latent viruses or mycoplasmas in cells.
- In vitro culture from meristems or embryos can lead to individuals with good phytosanitary status.
- Viruses that systematically affected numerous varieties have been successfully combated through in vitro culture.
- Accumulation of mutations in the heterozygous stage is considerable during cell divisions.
