Asexual Reproduction
• Asexual or vegetative reproduction involves the
production of new plants by means of vegetative
parts of an existing plant.
• The vegetative
parts of many
plants have
the ability to
produce new
roots and/or
shoots to form
a new plant.
• Asexual reproduction is often advantageous over
sexual reproduction because:
• new plants reach maturity in less time;
• disease-free plants can be produced in
controlled environmental conditions;
• reproduction is possible for plants that do not
develop reproductive parts or viable seeds;
• plant selection for desired characteristics is more
reliable; and
• new plants are genetically identical to the
parent plant.
• Vegetative plant parts used in asexual
reproduction include:
–Leaves
–Stems
–Buds
–Roots
