Study Notes
Science Module 5: Modes of Reproduction in Flowering and Non-Flowering Plants
- This module covers the different methods of reproduction in plants
- It differentiates between sexual and asexual reproduction in plants
- Reproduction is the production of new individuals or offspring from their parents
- Sexual reproduction involves the production of seeds
- Asexual reproduction does not involve the production of seeds
- The module includes two key lessons covering sexual and asexual reproduction in plants
Sexual Reproduction in Plants (Lesson 1)
- Flowers are essential reproductive structures in flowering plants
- Pollination is essential, involves the transfer of pollen from anther to stigma
- Two types of pollination
- Self-pollination: Pollen is transferred within the same flower or to another flower on the same plant
- Cross-pollination: Pollen is transferred to another flower on a different plant of the same species
- Pollen grains develop into seeds, leading to new plant growth
Asexual Reproduction in Plants (Lesson 2)
-
Plants can reproduce asexually through various methods, leading to offspring genetically identical to the parent plant
-
Asexual methods includes natural vegetative propagation (runners, bulbs, tubers, rhizomes, plantlets) and artificial vegetative propagation (cuttings, grafting, marcotting, budding, layering)
-
Natural methods:
-
Runners: Horizontal stems that grow along the ground (example: strawberries)
-
Bulbs: Modified stems with fleshy leaves (example: onions)
-
Tubers: Swollen underground stems (example: potatoes)
-
Rhizomes: Underground stems (example: ginger, bananas).
-
Plantlets: New plants growing from plant leaves. (example: begonias).
-
Artificial methods:
-
Cuttings: A piece of stem, leaf or root developed into a new plant (example: mangoes, roses)
-
Grafting: The cutting (scion) of a plant placed on a rootstock (example: mangoes, citrus)
-
Marcotting: Stems placed on the ground to create roots and new plants (example: orchids)
-
Layering: Part of a stem (or stem branch) is bent over and covered in soil to encourage roots (example: garden plants)
-
Budding: Insertion of buds onto a stem (example: citrus)
-
Many plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
