Speach on Propagtion
Speech 1-Propagation
Anyone with money can purchase plants, but part of the fun of horticulture is to start your own. That is where Propagation comes in, it is the reproduction of the parent plant, using several different methods. There are five methods of propagation, seeding, cutting, division, grafting, and layering. The most difficult form of propagation is grafting. A lot of people probably think this is dumb or boring, but I think it is neat. Most people think the only way to grow plants is by seed, but you can also use leaves, and stems. Sean Russell says” Plants naturally use several different methods to multiply, from seeds to spores to shoots. Gardeners looking to speed the process along can propagate new plants from cuttings. Cuttings are a part of a plant's roots, branches or leaves that, when cut and properly rooted, can begin to grow a new plant of their own -- effectively cloning the parent plant. This method of creating new plants can be practiced with a range of plants from flowers to trees.” The main purpose of propagation is to produce more plants just like the parent plant. There is two types of propagation, sexual and asexual propagation. Sexual propagation starts with a seed formation. In sexual propagation, there is direct seeded plants and not direct seeded. Direct seeding is a one-step planting method in which seeds are placed permanently in the spots in the field they where they will germinate, grow, and go through the entire reproductive cycle. Direct seeding plants include peas, corn, melon, bean, beet, lettuce, carrots, and lima beans. Indirect seeding is a two-stage process of establishing plants in the field. Some Indirect plants are tomato, cabbage, eggplant, pepper, parsley, cucumber, and onion. Sexual propagation just uses the seeding method. Asexual propagation is when plants are propagated by any material other than seed. The Arizona master gardener says “The major methods of asexual propagation are cuttings, layering,

    Plant sexuality has a wide range of topics about sexual reproduction systems found across the plant kingdom. Flowers, which are the reproductive units of angiosperms, amongst all living things are physically varied the most. They also show the greatest diversity in methods of reproduction of all biological systems. The system for classifying flowering plants was proposed by Carolus Linnaeus, which is based on plant structures. Plants employ several different morphological adaptations that involve sexual reproduction. Christian Konrad Sprengel studied plant sexuality, which brought understanding to the pollination process. This process involved both biotic and abiotic…

    To begin the fast plants experiment, each group received the F1 generation seeds for their designated phenotypes. After receiving the seeds, the seeds were then planted into Styrofoam “quads” allowing the seeds to germinate. The seeds were then allowed to grow under a fluorescent light bank for 5 weeks. Throughout the growing of the seeds, each plant was continuously watered and adjusted the light bank to help the plant grow more efficiently. After letting the seeds germinate for approximately 14 days, after two or three flowers had opened, a bee stick was used to transfer pollen from one plant to another. Each group then used the bee stick again 2 and 4 days after the initial pollination. Once all of the transferring was complete, each unopened bud on the plants were pinched off. Approximately 21 days after pollination, the seeds were ready to be harvested. Each quad was removed from the watering tray and allowed to dry for 5 days. After the plants were dry, each group removed the dry seedpods from the plant. We then removed the seeds from the pod. To start the germination process, a moistened piece of filter paper was placed into a petri dish. 40 seeds were neatly placed into each petri dish until there were no seeds remaining. Once all the seeds were placed in the petri dish, the petri dishes were placed in a plastic bag and set to germinate for approximately 48 to 96 hours in the window at room temperatures.…

    All organisms need to reproduce for the continuation of their species. Otherwise, that species would die off. Just like animals, plants are characterized by sexual reproduction, with new organisms being formed from the union of sex cells. While it cannot be said that plants have separate sexes in the same way that animals do, they do form gametes just like animals. Two sperm cells are involved in the fertilization process with plants; one sperm cell combines with the egg cell and the other becomes the seed. In the process of fertilization with animals only one sperm fertilizes the female egg and it occurs in the fallopian tube of the female reproductive tract. Life for a new plant begins when it germinates from the seed. Part of the maturation occurs while in the embryonic stage, and the remainder occurs after birth and germination. Life for an animal begins when exiting the mother's womb or from an egg. In both cases, birth is experienced; however, with plants the process is called mitosis and with animals it is called meiosis. In plants gametes are not produced directly, they have an extra step in which meiosis produces spores.…

    Flower and Angiosperms

    Angiosperms have a wide distribution in the biosphere and the largest number of species in the plant kingdom. An angiosperm is seed plant that produces flowers and fruits. Angiosperms are divided into monocots and eudicots. They are classified in Anthophyta. There are four structures for reproduction found in angiosperms. These structures include fruits, petals, stamen, and carpel. Fruits, which are the matured ovaries of plants helps to disperse the seeds of angiosperms. By being tasteful, more animals are attracted to the fruit therefore allowing the fruit to be dispersed. The petals of the flower attract pollinators, due to their appearance. Flowers have evolved to attract animals to transfer pollen between individuals in dispersed populations. Stamens are the male reproductive structure, they produce microspores in the anthers of a flower to produce pollen grains. Pollen is able to be transferred by wind due to its waterproof coating. The carpel of an angiosperm is the female reproductive structure, which produces female gametophytes with eggs. The carpel helps to create and ovule. The ovule protects the eggs and zygote, it is an a adaptation which increases reproductive fitness.…

    Asexual Propagation is the process of using plant materials such as the stems, leaves, and roots to multiply the number of plants. These plants eventually grow to be a brand new plant that is genetically identical to the parent plant it came from. In several types of plants, asexual propagation is the fastest means of new plant growth. Asexual propagation is also a good way to maintain a plant species because they are genetically identical. In this process, adventitious roots are seen in the growing cycle. Adventitious roots are those that grow form parts of the plant that they normally would not grow from. The cuttings must do this in order to form a completely new plant. There are multiple methods of asexual propagation; some include cuttings, layering, division, and budding/grafting. This experiment is designed to look into the method of using cuttings for asexual propagation and the success of the plant parts. As this experiment goes on more herbaceous and succulent plants will root quicker than woody plants.…

    Plants can reproduce both sexually & asexually. When producing offspring sexually, plants cannot simply grow legs to find a mate nor can they maneuver their sex cells to a different plant all by themselves in order to reproduce. So how do they do it? Well there are multiple ways that this process occurs. All of which differentiate who or what helps the plant spread its seeds. Plants spread their seeds through wind, water, & animals.…
