Plant Propagation Flashcards
It is the process of increasing the number of plants of a particular species or cultivar.
Plant Propagation
Give the two primary part of propagation.
Sexual using seed
and asexual no seeds
A plants reproduce in nature.
Sexual propagation
It is a seedling from embryo.
Seed germination
It is a physiological or physical condition of a viable seed.
Seed Dormancy
A seed that cannot germinate because of its unfavorable conditions
Seed quiescence
What are the two types of dormancy
Primary and secondary
A germination components not available
Exogenous or coat imposed dormancy
A seed development and maturation
Endogenous dormancy
Dormancy technology
Ecodormancy
Paradormancy
Endodormancy
Due to physical factors
Paradormancy
Due to one or more unsuitable factors
Ecodormancy
Regulated by physiological factor
Endodormancy
Any treatment that removes the seed coat or alters.
Scaritification
A type of scarification that is being soaked in water it is either hot,tap or boiling water for a specific period time.
Physical Scarification
Peircing,rubbing on sand paper ,filing ,grinding with abrasives
Mechanical scarification
A treatment with sulfuric acid and organic solvent
Chemical scarification
It is the placement of seeds between layers of moist sand,soil or sawdust at high or low temperature .
Stratification
A seed treatment to cold temperature prior to germination
Vernalization
Aseptically removing the embryo from the seed and placing it in a sterilized culture medium to germinate.
Embryo culture
It involves reproduction from vegetative parts of plants and is possible because tge vegetative organs of many plants have the capacity for regeneration
Asexual propagation
It comes from a greek “Apo”which means” away from” and mixis meaning mingling.
Apomixis
A plant which reproduce only by asexual reproduction.Examples are thw lanzones and mangosteen.
Obligate Apomitic
