Can vegetative propagation in plants be carried out using non-specialized parts of the body?
April 28, 2020 | Education
| The vegetative organs of plants participate in asexual reproduction, which consists in the formation of a young organism from any part of the parent. This method of reproduction is ubiquitous in the wild and is actively used in crop production. In this case, both specialized organs (rhizomes, bulbs, tubers, stolons) and non-specialized (stems, leaves) are used.
For instance. Leaf cuttings. Relatively few plants (Uzambara violet, begonia, gloxinia) can be restored from cut leaves.
