Plant Propagation Techniques

A vasculum is a rigid container used by botanists to keep plant specimens fresh and moist during field collection until they can be pressed.

Vegetative propagation involves asexual reproduction using plant parts like stems, roots, or leaves. Sowing involves seeds, which is sexual reproduction.

Banana plants are typically propagated using rhizomes, which are underground stems that produce new shoots.

Micropropagation is a technique of plant tissue culture used to produce large numbers of genetically identical plants from small explants under sterile conditions.

Eichhornia (water hyacinth) is a classic example of a plant that reproduces vegetatively via offsets, which are short, thick runners.

In grafting, the scion is the upper part of the plant that is grafted onto the rootstock.

The eyes of a potato are axillary buds located on the tuber. These buds can sprout to form new plants, serving as a primary method of vegetative reproduction.

Embryo culture is often used to rescue embryos that would otherwise abort due to incompatibility between parents, thus overcoming hybridization barriers.

Totipotent cells can differentiate into any type of cell.

Inbreeding is done in animals for improvement.

Hybridization is the process of combining different varieties of organisms to create a hybrid

Bryophyllum can be propagated by leaf buds.

This is the correct option.
