Study Notes
Reproduction in Plants
- Living things reproduce to create new individuals of the same species, preventing extinction
- Reproduction is a distinguishing characteristic of living things
- There are two main types of reproduction in organisms: sexual and asexual
- Many plants, animals, and simple organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually
- Asexual reproduction does not require the fusion of male and female gametes
- Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring to the parent plant
- Asexual reproduction occurs through various methods including vegetative propagation, budding, fragmentation, and spore formation
Vegetative Propagation
- In vegetative propagation, new plants grow from parts of a plant like leaves, stems, or roots
- Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction
- Examples of plants that reproduce by stem include potatoes and ginger
- Potato tubers have "eyes" which sprout to form new plants
Vegetative Reproduction by Stem
- Plants like potatoes and ginger can form new plants from their stems
- Cuttings of stems can grow into new plants (e.g., sugarcane, rose)
- Planting the cut pieces of potato (containing "eyes") in soil leads to new plants, due to stem modification/tubers
- These methods commonly used to grow plants, as a simple and efficient way for new plants to sprout
Artificial Methods of Vegetative Reproduction
- Grafting: Joining a stem cutting (scion) from one plant to the stem of another (stock) promotes growth into one plant
- A method of growing plants that are difficult to cultivate by other means, or for preserving certain qualities of existing plants
- Layering: Bending a stem to ground then covering with soil stimulates rooting, allowing the plantlet to grow as a new plant
Advantages of Vegetative Reproduction
- Fast growth, as it bypasses the need for seeds to germinate
- Produce more plants from existing plants
- Suitable for plants that cannot produce viable seeds e.g. bananas
- Useful for maintaining desirable plant characteristics across generations
Disadvantages of Vegetative Reproduction
- Offspring are exact copies of the parent, inheriting both desirable and undesirable traits
- Makes plants susceptible to diseases as they are genetically identical
- Less genetic diversity in the plant population.
- Increased vulnerability to diseases and environmental stresses
