Some asexual reproduction plants are strawberries, kalanchoe, tulips, dandelions, potatoes or cypress Cupressus dupreziana. Asexual reproduction in plants is a process by which plants reproduce without the need for gametes. In this case, there is no need for two types of cells from different individuals..
Asexual reproduction allows the offspring to be very similar to the plant that generates them and requires much fewer processes than sexual reproduction.
There are mainly two mechanisms of asexual reproduction in plants. The first is apomixis, which consists of reproduction by seeds. The second is vegetative reproduction that consists of the formation of new individuals by meiosis (without the formation of spores or seeds being necessary).
Plants that reproduce asexually are very numerous. In fact, it is estimated that most plants reproduce through this process..
Strawberries can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction has been found to require about 8 times less effort for the plant than sexual reproduction.
Asexual reproduction of strawberries occurs through vegetative reproduction.
Kalanchoe is a plant traditionally recognized for its anticancer properties.
Like strawberries, it can also be reproduced through vegetative reproduction from seedlings or leftover leaves..
Tulips are usually very long and bright flowering plants. Its asexual reproduction is due to the vegetative reproduction mechanism through bulbs.
These bulbs are fleshy stems that are buried in the ground and from which new plants sprout.
Dandelions are plants that reproduce asexually through apomixis, that is, through spores.
Since the embryo contained in the gamete is formed without performing meiosis, the offspring of dandelions are identical to the plant that originated them.
This cypress reproduces asexually by means of a male apomixis. The cypress produces diploid pollen grains that form an embryo upon reaching the cones of the female of another cypress.
Few plants like this one carry out male apomixis.
The potato is a plant that has underground stems or tubers. Germ cells can be found in tubers that allow the asexual reproduction of potatoes..
This perennial plant, close to other plants such as sunflower and chrysanthemum.
It reproduces asexually through vegetative reproduction by thick tubers similar to those of the potato.
It is a genus of plants that belong to the grass family and that is very common in tropical areas. Its asexual reproduction occurs through apomixis.
This genus of grasses are common in tropical regions. Like brachiaria, they reproduce asexually also through apomixis.
This herbaceous plant also reproduces by means of apomixis. It is common to find it in temperate and tropical areas of the world.
This plant of Asian origin is cultivated asexually through the cultivation of rhizomes in tropical areas.
Garlic reproduces asexually through toothed bulbs that are planted directly into the ground.
Also known as tape, it is reproduced from hanging stolons that appear from its bushes. These are usually separated for later root development to take place..
The Poa pratensis it reproduces from separation by rhizomes and serpents. The shoots obtained appear during spring and summer.
