layering
rooting a part of the parent plant and then severing it from the parent plant
layering
transferring a plant bud from one plant to another
budding
act of joining two plants (or thier parts) together
grafting
what are the other types of asexual propagation not currently listed?
cutting, tissue culture, separating, division
reproduction that occurs without the presence of reproductive parts. part of the plant is used to generate a new plant
asexual reproduction
Name the three types of layering
simple, compound, air
patch and t-budding
used when the scion and stock are of similar diameter
whip/bench
once the plant exceeds their original size, you dig the plant up and divide the roots into smaller clumps and replant.
division
name at least two drawbacks of asexual propagation
exact copy of the parent plant, requires more hand labor, equipment, and supplies, limits genetic diversity
A type of layering that establishes a root system on the plant above the ground
air layering
in this type of budding the young bark is cut into a T shape, the bark is carefully pulled back, and the budstick slides into the T and it is wrapped.
T budding
used on a tree top to change the tree from one variety to another
cleft graft
plants that produce bulbs, rhizomes, or corms multiply annually and can be separated to make new plants.
separating
name at least two benefits of asexual propagation
create more of the plants consumers want quickly, allows the plant to grow to a suitable size in less time, allows certain plants that produce sterile seeds or have poor viability reproduce, same characteristics of the parent plant
a type of layering where low branches are pulled down to the ground and buried several inches in the soil with the shoot tip sticking out of the soil
simple layering
bark from the stock (stem) is removed and an exact matching budstick is inserted to patch the missing bark on the stock plant
patch budding
what is the scion?
a young stem or bud from a plant with beneficial characteristics. Top of the whip graft.
most sophisticated and expensive to complete. can bring back a plant close to extinction or ravaged by disease
tissue culture
Name the three types of rooting hormone
powder, liquid, and gel
This type of layering is used for long vines, require the shoot to be alternately covered and exposed
compound layering
how long does it take for fruit to be produced on a budded tree?
2-3 years
what is the stock?
Where the roots develop. The bottom of the whip graft.
removing a piece of leaf, stem, or root and placing it in a growing medium where it then grows and develops (most common type of asexual propagation)
cutting
top of the stem. this is where growth happens.
shoot tip
