VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
ROOT

✓ Roots with adventitious buds develop

into new plant.

✓ Tap roots: e.g., Dalbergia (Sheesham),

Guava, Poplar, Albizia, Murraya.

✓ Fleshy roots (root tubers) e.g., Sweet

Potato, Tapioca, Dahlia, Aspara-gus.

VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
LEAF

✓ Leaves with adventitious buds and

help in vegetative propagation

✓ e.g., Begonia, Bryophyllum, Kalanchoe,

Streptocarpus, Saintpaulia, Adiantum

caudatum (Walking Fern).

VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
Bulbils

✓ Multicellular fleshy buds that take part

in vegetative propagation.

✓ e.g., Oxalis, Agave, Pineapple (Ananas),

Dioscorea (Yam), Lily, Chlorophytum.

✓ Agave bulbils- Modified floral buds

VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
Advantages of Vegetative Propagation

✓ Only method of multiplication in seedless plants, e.g., Sugarcane, Banana, seedless

Grape, seedless Orange, etc.

✓ Plant can multiply indefinitely without any change or variation.

✓ There is rapid multiplication with genetic uniformity.

✓ Produce disease-free plants.

✓ Good qualities of the plants can be preserved for a long time.

✓ Transgenic plants (genetically modified plants) can be produced used tissue culture.
VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
Disadvantages of Vegetative Propagation

✓ Vegetative propagules get easily decayed and are prone to viral,

bacterial and fungal diseases.

✓ There are no variations (less adaptability to change environment).

✓ There is no dispersal of vegetative propagules overcrowding.

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Advantages

● It is uniparental reproduction.

● It involves simple processes of division and mitosis.

● It is quick mode of reproduction.

● A single parent may produce a large number of offspring.

● The young ones are genetically similar to their parent.

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Disadvantages

● No mixing of genetic material, therefore, no variation takes place.

● No evolution due to lack of variations

● Rapid multiplication causes overcrowding.

● The organisms produced through asexual reproduction have low adaptability

to the changed environment.
