Budding

Budding is the mode of asexual reproduction

wherein a new plant is developed from an
outgrowth known as the bud. A bud is generally
formed due to cell division at one particular site.
For example, if you keep a potato for a long time,
you can notice a number of small outgrowths,
which are commonly referred to as ‘eyes’. Each of
them can be planted which will grow up like a
clone of an original potato plant.
Vegetative Propagation
It is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants,
in which new plants are produced from the vegetative
parts of the plants, i.e. roots, stems or buds. Vegetative
propagation in plants can occur both by naturally or also
can be artificially induced by horticulturists.
The most common techniques of vegetative propagation
are:
Stems – Runners are the stems which usually grow in a
horizontal form above the ground. They have the nodes
where the buds are formed. These buds usually grow
into a new plant.
Roots – A new plant is developed from modified roots
called tubers. Example: Sweet Potato

L
eaves – In some plants, detached leaves from the
parent plant can be used to grow a new plant. They
exhibit growth of small plants, called plantlets, on the
edge of their leaves. Example: Bryophyllum.
Fragmentation
This is a mode of asexual reproduction in which a
new plant is produced from a portion of the parent
plant. Each section or a part of the plants develop
into a mature, fully grown individual. Some plants
possess specialized structures for reproduction
through fragmentation. This type of reproduction
happens naturally where the small part of the plant
fall off onto soil and then begin to grow up into a
new plant. This mode is often used by nurseries
and greenhouses to produce plants quickly.
Spore Formation
Many plants and algae form spores in their life
cycle. A spore is an asexual reproductive body,
surrounded by a hard protective cover to withstand
unfavourable conditions such as high temperature
and low humidity. Under favourable conditions, the
spores germinate and grow into new plants. Plants
like moss and ferns use this mode of reproduction.
