It all comes down to a small difference in meaning of the words.

By definition, propagation is the multiplication of plant materials via seed or any vegetative method (cutting, tissue culture etc.). It therefore encompasses both sexual (seed) and asexual methods of multiplication.

Pure asexual reproduction results in plants with the same genetic make up as the parent plant (often called daughter plants), whereas sexual propagation via seed results in hybrid offspring which has the combined genetic information from both parents.

Reproduction is more commonly associated with animal multiplication, which for the most part is the increasing of a population via sexual means (although there are a few exceptions to this). Reproduction as it is sexual results in offspring which inherit traits from both parents.

Vegetative propagation is categorized as asexual reproduction. The process involves a single plant.

The vegetative reproduction in Bryophyllum is called "leaf-bud propagation" or "kalanchoe propagation." This method involves the growth of adventitious plantlets at the margins of the leaves, which can be solidified and then rooted to form new plants.

What is artificial vegetable propagation?

some plants can be artificially propagated by using their vegetative parts and this is called artificial vegetative propagation


Differential natural from artificial vegetative propagation?

rtificial propagation (def.): Reproduction of biological tissues via human intervention, usually under carefully controlled environmental conditions, but in the absence of the usual (generally sexual) modes of reproduction. Vegetative reproduction can be performed artificially, a common practice among horticulturists, but much vegetative reproduction occurs naturally without human involvement. Furthermore, artificial propagation can be achieved among both animal and plant species, whereas vegetative reproduction only occurs in plants. Artificial propagation is commonly used to increase the populations of endangered species, often via artificial insemination.


What is Vegetative Propagation by Leaves?

Vegetative Reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction in which new plants are produced from the vegetative parts i.e. roots, stems, leaves and buds of the parent plant. Since, reproduction is through the vegetative parts of the plant, it is called vegetative propagation. In some plants like Bryophyllum (sprout leaf plant) the leaf has many buds on its margins. A new plant arises from these buds when the leaf falls on the moist soil. This is known as vegetative propagation by leaves. The following are the advantages of vegetative propagation: - Plants produced by vegetative propagation take less time to grow. - They mature faster and bear flowers and fruits earlier than plants produced from seeds. - The new plants are an exact copy of their parent plant, as they are produced from a single parent. - We can also get seedless plants through this method. - In the early stages of growth, such plants usually need less attention than plants grown from seeds.


What are the two types of vegetative propagation?

The two types of vegetative propagation are asexual reproduction and cloning. Asexual reproduction involves the growth of new plants from vegetative parts such as stems or leaves, while cloning involves the production of genetically identical plants through techniques like tissue culture.

What do you call a method of asexual reproduction where plants are produced without the help of the seed?

The method of asexual reproduction in plants where new individuals are produced without seeds is called "vegetative propagation." This process can occur through various means, such as runners, tubers, cuttings, or bulbs, allowing plants to reproduce and spread efficiently. Vegetative propagation results in genetically identical clones of the parent plant.
