Asexual propagation of crop plants gets closer Date: February 15, 2024 Source: University of Zurich Summary: When the female gametes in plants become fertilized, a signal from the sperm activates ...

If we could find a way to propagate crop plants by asexual reproduction through seeds – known as apomixis – it would revolutionize agriculture. If it were possible to bypass the reductional division ...

This Scientific Reports Collection considers original research on asexual reproduction strategies in plants, from studies on their genetic regulation and evolution throughout plant lineages, to ...

Asexual plant propagation is the process of multiplying plants by using the vegetative parts of a parent plant (such as leaves, stems or roots) ...

Sexual propagation occurs through the natural growth of viable seeds, while asexual propagation allows for the creation of new plants using cuttings from vegetative parts, like the roots, leaves ...

Plants can be divided to create new plants. Division works for plants that have a habit of producing a mass of closely knit shoots or buds that form a clump, or crown, of growth.

As in other methods of vegetative or asexual plant propagation — cutting, division, layering and tissue culture — the value of grafting is that it allows us to create large numbers of ...

Seeds are the end product of plant reproduction. Whether directly as food, or indirectly as animal feed, they provide around 80 percent of human calorie consumption. In the millennia since humans ...
