REPRODUCTION

IN PLANTS
PRESENTED BY ABDUL HADI
PARTS OF FLOWER
 TYPES
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF
REPRODUCTION

ASEXSUAL SEXUAL
ASEXUAL
MANY PLANTS ARE ABLE TO PROPAGATE THEMSELVES USING ASEXUAL
REPRODUCTION. THIS METHOD DOES NOT REQUIRE THE INVESTMENT
REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A FLOWER, ATTRACT POLLINATORS, OR FIND A
MEANS OF SEED DISPERSAL. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION PRODUCES PLANTS
THAT ARE GENETICALLY IDENTICAL TO THE PARENT PLANT BECAUSE NO
MIXING OF MALE AND FEMALE GAMETES TAKES PLACE. TRADITIONALLY,
THESE PLANTS SURVIVE WELL UNDER STABLE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS WHEN COMPARED WITH PLANTS PRODUCED FROM SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION BECAUSE THEY CARRY GENES IDENTICAL TO THOSE OF
THEIR PARENTS.
SEXUAL
THE FLOWER IS THE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN OF PLANTS CLASSIFIED AS
ANGIOSPERMS. ALL PLANTS HAVE THE MEANS AND CORRESPONDING
STRUCTURES FOR REPRODUCING SEXUALLY. THE BASIC FUNCTION OF A
FLOWER IS TO PRODUCE SEEDS THROUGH SEXUAL REPRODUCTION. SEEDS
ARE THE NEXT GENERATION, SERVING AS THE PRIMARY METHOD IN MOST
PLANTS BY WHICH INDIVIDUALS OF THE SPECIES ARE DISPERSED ACROSS
THE LANDSCAPE. ACTUAL DISPERSAL IS, IN MOST SPECIES, A FUNCTION OF
THE FRUIT (A STRUCTURAL PART THAT TYPICALLY SURROUNDS THE SEED).
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION/PROPAGATION

ADVANTAGES:
• Allows organism to make a colony of identical organisms around it and form a
colony quickly
• needs less energy as no other parent organism is involved

DISADVANTAGES:
• same mix of DNA is used all the time so if conditions in the habitat change or a
disease spreads to attack the organism,all can be destroyed
 PROPAGATION OF
PLANTS

Plant propagation is the process of increasing the

number of plants of a particular species or cultivar.
There are two primary forms of plant propagation:
Artificial and natural
TYPES OF
PROPAGATION
NATURAL PROPAGATION OCCURS
ARTIFICIAL METHODS ARE WHEN PLANTS GROW AND DEVELOP
THOSE METHODS THAT ARE NATURALLY WITHOUT ANY HUMAN
CARRIED BY MAN TO INTERFERENCE. NATURAL
PROPAGATE PLANTS. TISSUE VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION CAN BE
CULTURE, CUTTING, LAYERING, ENABLED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF
AND GRAFTING ARE TYPES OF SIDE BUDS . THUS, NEW PLANTS MAY
ARTIFICIAL METHODS OF EMERGE FROM THE ROOTS, STEM
VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION. AND LEAVES OF THE PARENT PLANT.
