 What Is It
You can see different types of plants everywhere. They differ in size, shape, color, smell, and
even in their mode of reproduction.
Like animals, plants need to continuously reproduce themselves. Some reproduce through
their seeds while some utilize other means. In this module you will learn more about different ways
of plants production.
Plant reproduction is the production of new offspring in plants which can be done by sexual
or asexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction produces offspring when pollen grains from the anther are
transferred to the stigma of a flower. This process is called pollination. Angiosperms or flowering
plants rely on pollination for reproduction.
Pollination is usually brought about by wind, insects, or birds. Animals and other
agents that aid in sexual reproduction of plants are called agents of pollination. There are two kinds
of pollination, self-pollination and cross-pollination.
 Self-pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same
flower or of different flower that belongs to the same plant.
 Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the
stigma of another flower that belongs to another plant but of the same kind. Cross-
pollination is the most common form of pollination.
Once a pollen grain enters the stigma, it swells and grows a long tube that travels through
the style until it reaches the ovary. The tube releases the sperm cells into the ovule to fertilize the
egg cell. The fertilized egg cell and the ovule itself develop into a seed. The ovary then enlarges and
thickens its wall to become a fruit. This will be the receptacle for the seeds. These seeds can
eventually grow into new plant.
Nonflowering plants can also be reproduced using cones and seeds. They rely on dispersion
to continue their life cycle. They are called gymnosperms. Some gymnosperm species have male and
female cones on the same tree, while others have separate male or female cone producing trees.
Fertilization in gymnosperms occurs when pollen grains contact the female ovule and germinate.
One of the most common types of gymnosperms is the pine trees. In gymnosperms, seeds are called
“naked seeds” as they are exposed.
Asexual reproduction does not involve seeds to produce a new plant.
Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction where new plants are produced
from one part of a parent plant. New plants can grow from roots, stems, and leaves of a parent
plant.
Some plants can reproduce asexually through their stems.
Most shrubs grow through stem cutting where a stem from a parent plant is cut and then
replanted to grow into a new plant.
Rose plant, bougainvilla, and sugar cane grow from cuttings.
Some plants have modified stems or roots that are enlarged and serve as food storage.
These parts grow underground and new plants can sprout from them. Here are some examples of
modified stems and roots.

 Bulb – a rounded stem with fleshy leaves (examples: onion, tulip)

 Rhizome – a horizontally growing stem (examples: ginger, lotus)
 Corm – a short, vertical stem (examples: gladiolus, taro or gabi)
 Tuber – a fleshy underground stem or root (examples: potato—stem, sweet potato root)
 Some modified stems do not grow underground, but instead, crawl along the ground. These are
called stolons or runners. Strawberry and certain grasses grow from stolons.
New plants can also arise from the leaves of a few plants. Katakataka and spme begonia plants
have leaves from which young plants grow. The new plants grow along the edges of the parent’s
leaves. 3

What I Can Do

Aside from the natural way of plant. Plants reproduction also

reproduces through artificial propagation. Examples of this
include cutting, grafting, and layering. Have a research about the
following methods. Organize your findings using the table below.

Answer: Yes. Plants like mango can reproduce sexually through the flowers and fruits and asexually through
stem cutting.. Kankong, Gumamela, and strawberries are some examples of plants that can reproduce through
sexual and asexual propagation.
