Asexual Reproduction • Asexual reproduction is the formation of new individuals from the cell(s) of a single parent. • It is common in plants, less so in animals.
Plant Asexual Reproduction • Above ground Stems arch over and take root at the tips, forming new plants (Forsythia, Raspberry and Strawberry) • Horizontal above ground stems are called stolons Pearson College http://www.pearson-college.uwc.ca/pearson/biology/asex/asex.htm
Plant Asexual Reproduction • Underground stems that serve for food storage and reproduction. Rhizomes, bulbs, corms and tubers Jeruasalem Artichoke, potato (tuber) Quackgrass Rhizomes Irises and day lilies Pearson College http://www.pearson-college.uwc.ca/pearson/biology/asex/asex.htm
Plant Asexual Reproduction Amaryllis Bulb Gladiolus Corm Pearson College http://www.pearson-college.uwc.ca/pearson/biology/asex/asex.htm
Plant Asexual Reproduction • Leaves—Mitosis along the meristems at the leaf margins produce tiny plantlets that fall off and can take up an independent existence. Pearson College http://www.pearson-college.uwc.ca/pearson/biology/asex/asex.htm
Plant Asexual Reproduction • Roots—Plants can send up stems from their roots to reproduce. Dandelion, Poplar, Aspen California Pictures www.californiapictures.com/gallery.html
Plant Asexual Reproduction • Plant Propagation—Deliberate propagation by asexual means to keep particularly desirable traits. Grafting removal of a twig (scion) from a desired plant and inserting it into a notch of a cut stump (stock plant). University of Arizona http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/mg/propagation/grafting.html
Plant Asexual Reproduction • Cuttings—Using stems, leaves or roots of plants for asexual reproduction. Pearson College http://www.pearson-college.uwc.ca/pearson/biology/asex/asex.htm
Plant Sexual Reproduction • Sexual Reproduction—Sperm carried in the pollen from the male part of a flower fuses with the egg in the female part of the flower. http://www.howe.k12.ok.us/~jimaskew/bflower.htm
Plant Sexual Reproduction • Pollination—Transfer of pollen from the male to the female part of the plant. • Self-Pollination—Pollen of a plant pollinates a flower of the same plant (only some plants can do this, apple trees for example cannot) University of the Western Cape http://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/ecotree/flowers/pollination4.htm
University of Illinois Urbana Champaign http://www.life.uiuc.edu/plantbio/260/breedingsystems/breedingsystems.htm
Plant Sexual Reproduction • Cross Pollination—Pollen of a plant pollinates another plant. • Hybrid—The offspring of genetically different plants. University of the Western Cape http://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/ecotree/flowers/pollination4.htm
Pollination Vectors • Wind (grasses) • Water (aquatic plants) • Insects (bees, beetles, butterflies and wasps) • Mammals (bats/rodents) • Birds University of the Western Cape http://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/ecotree/flowers/pollination4.htm
Plant Sexual Reproduction • Complete Flower—A flower having all floral structures, including the calyx (sepals, corolla (petals), stamen (anthers and filaments) and pistil (stigma, style and ovary). (Rose) Texas Technological University http://www.pssc.ttu.edu/pss1321/Web%20topics/cpa2.htm
Plant Sexual Reproduction • Incomplete Flower—A flower which lacks one or more floral structures • Perfect Flower—A flower which has male and female floral structures in the same flower. (Rose, Apple, Tomato and Wheat) Texas Technological University http://www.pssc.ttu.edu/pss1321/Web%20topics/cpa2.htm
Plant Sexual Reproduction • Imperfect Flower—A flower which has male and female floral structures in separate flowers. (Spruce, Ash and Maples • Monoecious Plant—A plant species having separate male and female flowers on the same plant.(example corn, cucumber, Birch) • Dioecious Plant—A plant species having male and female flowers that are on separate plants. (example buffalograss, Hollies, Yews, Ash, Asparagus and Maple.)
