2. Asexual Reproduction Asexual reproduction is the formation of new individuals from the cell of a single parent. Asexual reproduction is the formation of new individuals from the cell of a single parent. It is common in plants, less so in animals. It is common in plants, less so in animals.

3. Plant Asexual Reproduction Above ground Stems arch over and take root at the tips, forming new plants (Forsythia, Raspberry and Strawberry) 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 Horizontal above ground stems are called stolons Pearson College http://www.pearson-college.uwc.ca/pearson/biology/asex/asex.htm

4. Plant Asexual Reproduction Underground stems that serve for food storage and reproduction. Rhizomes, bulbs, corms and tubers Underground stems that serve for food storage and reproduction. Rhizomes, bulbs, corms and tubers Quackgrass Rhizomes Irises and day lilies Jeruasalem Artichoke, potato (tuber)

5. Plant Asexual Reproduction Amaryllis Bulb Gladiolus Corm

6. 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.

7. Plant Asexual Reproduction Roots —Plants can send up stems from their roots to reproduce. Dandelion, Poplar, Aspen Roots —Plants can send up stems from their roots to reproduce. Dandelion, Poplar, Aspen

8. 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).
