Practice of growing plants from seeds (sexual) OR from vegetative parts (asexual).
A reproductive process involving two plants OR the male and female parts of the same plant and results in the formation of flowers, fruits, and seeds.
What part of the plant produces a new plant when sexual propagation techniques are used?
An asexual reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are identical to the parent, similar to cloning. New plants grow from vegetative parts such as roots, stems, and leaves, but NOT from seeds.
Plant propagation method used to unite a small cutting from one plant into the growing cambium of a different rootstock with more resilient characteristics.
Ex: a shoot is removed from a sweet-tasting blood orange tree (which is NOT cold hardy) and placed in the growing cambium of an osage orange (which IS cold hardy). The resulting tree has sweet blood oranges and IS cold hardy enough to grow here in North Florida!
Most popular form of vegetative propagation in the citrus industry.v
grafting, or cleft grafting
The ________________________________ of a plant with desirable characteristics like cold-hardiness or disease-resistance is cut off a few inches above the root.
Then a cutting from a tree lacking those characteristics is inserted into the rootstock's growing cambium.
The small branch or bud that is cut from a tree you would like to graft into the cambium of a superior rootsock.
A specialized method of grafting where a single bud with a slice of it's bark (scion) is inserted into the bark of a different tree/plant.
(If the cut you make in the rootstock's bark is shaped like a "T", this method can also be called "T-budding".)
Using small groups of cells from a plant to make new plants in a sterile agar plate.
Asexual plant reproduction is the same as vegetative propagation.
What asexual propagation technique requires removing a shoot from the desired plant and placing it in the growing cambium of another?
What grafting technique is accomplished by uniting a bud and rootstock by cutting into the bark of the rootstock?
Bud Grafting
Division
Which method of asexual plant reproduction involves using a small part of a plant to grow another in a sterile environment?

Which asexual propagation technique is shown?
What form of propagation is illustrated?
tissue culture
air layering
division
grafting
