Introduction to Plant Reproduction Introduction to AgriScience and Technology GHS Mr. Ham
Objective 1.1Define Propagation • Propagation • The reproduction of plants either sexually or asexually.
Objective 1.2Define sexual reproduction and the terms associated with it. • Sexual Reproduction: • The union of the female and male sex cells to produce a seed (embryo). • Ovule: female sex cell. • Pollen: male sex cell. • Embryo (seed-germ): an immature plant. • *Sexual reproduction involves the creation of a genetically new individual.
Objective 1.3List and explain the different types of seeds. • Monocots: • Seeds with one seed leaf. • Leaves have parallel veins. • 1 solid seed. • Stem vacular bundles scattered. • Roots are adventitious • Flowers in multiples of three. • Pollen with single furrow or pore
Dicots • Seeds with 2 seed leaves or 2 cotyledons • Veins are “webbed.” • Pollen with three furrows or pores. • Flowers parts in multiples of four or five. • Stem vascular bundles in a ring.
Objective 1.4List and explain the different types of flowers. • Complete • Incomplete
Complete Flowers • Sepals • The outer part of the flower. • In open flowers, the sepals are found at the base of the plant.
PetalsThe brightly colored, soft tissue that attracts insects.
Stamens • The male part of the flower that has an anther at the end of it to produce pollen.
Pistil • Stigma • The opening of the pistil. • Style • The tube-like structure that connects the stigma and ovary. • Ovary • The site of fertilization and growth of the seed.
Incomplete Flower • An incomplete flower is one that lacks one or more of the four principal components identified in a complete flower.
Objective 1.5Explain the difference between a perfect and imperfect flower • A perfect flower is one with both the stamen and pistil • An imperfect flower is one that lacks one of the sex organs.
Objective 1.6Define pollination, fertilization and germination. • Pollination • The transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma of a flower of the same species. • Fertilization • The union of the pollen and ovule cells. • Germination • The sprouting of a seed.
Objective 1.7Define asexual reproduction • Asexual Reproduction: • The reproduction of a plant without the uniting of a pollen and ovule. • Asexual reproduction is often referred to as vegetative propagation since no seed is involved in the formation of the new plant. • It is known as a clone. • Leaves, stems or roots may be used to grow a new plant. • *Produces a genetically identical plant.
Objective 1.8List the benefits of vegetative propagation. • True traits of the parents • Maintains genetic purity with • 100% replication of parent plant. • No seed • Some plants do not produce a seed or the seeds are too small to work with. • Accelerates the time it takes to get a new plant to the market • Traditionally, it would take up to 40 years to get a new plant to the general public; however, micropropagation can yield marketable levels of plants within 8 to 12 years.
Objective 1.9List and explain the different types of vegetative propagation. • Layering • Involves getting roots to grow from the stem. I.e., magnolia tree • Cutting • Using a short section of plant stems for propagation. • Budding • Taking a bud from one plant and moving it to another. • Grafting • Placing a section of a stem of one plant onto another plant. • Tissue culture • Taking a group of cells or a single cell and growing it to a plant.
