Name:____________________________ Plant Reproduction and Nutrient Guided Notes __________________________________________: the production of new offspring in plants There are two methods of reproduction in plants: _______________________________________ _______________________________________ Sexual Reproduction _______________________________: the transfer of pollen grains from the male part of the flower to the female part _________________________________________: on plants with complete flowers the pollen falls from the anther onto its own stigma __________________________________________: plants that have incomplete flowers require pollinators to transfer the pollen to another plant ________________________________:when the male sex cell joins with the female sex cell (the ovule) _________________________________:the process of a seed developing into a plant _________________________________:wearing away the seed coat to allow water in to the embryo _________________________________: cold treatment to simulate winter conditions to promote germination Asexual Reproduction ______________________ reproduction: producing new plants from parts of a plant (leaves, stems, etc.) another name for plant reproduction is propagation _______________________________: deliberately controlling and manipulating the reproduction of a plant new plants created through asexual reproduction are identical to the parent plant Asexual Methods of Reproduction Cuttings and Division/Separation ________________________________ ________________________________ Tissue Culture _________________________ and _________________________: splitting apart a root or root system into two or more pieces which each become a new plant (ex. hostas, potatoes, daylillies, ornamental grasses) __________________________: segments of leaves, stem, or roots are cut off and then placed in growing media to develop into new plants (ex. begonias, ivy, pothos, African violet, wandering Jew) Nutrients for Plants ____________________________________: elements which plants require in relatively __________________ amounts. _____________________________________: are those which plants require in much _______________________ amounts Macronutrients Primary: ____________________________ Phosphorous Potassium Secondary ___________________________ Calcium __________________________ Fertilizer Micronutrients Chlorine _______________________ Boron Manganese _________________________ Copper __________________________ Primary nutrients usually are lacking in the soil because plants use large amounts for growth. Therefore fertilizer contains large percentages of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, (_______-_______-________)
