Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which Method involves taking parts (leaves, stem, etc) and placing them in growing media to develop into new plants?
A
Cuttings
B
Division
C
Tissue Culture
D
Grafting
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is also called ‘vegetative propagation’. The vegetative parts of a plant like leaf, stem, root or their modified forms are used for propagation. Most of the horticultural crops are commercially propagated by vegetative or asexual method of propagation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual propagation, sometimes referred to as vegetative propagation, involves taking vegetative parts of a plant (stems, roots, and/or leaves) and causing them to regenerate into a new plant or, in some cases, several plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -These seven methods include: seed propagation, cutting, layering, division, grafting, budding, and tissue culture technique.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual plant propagation methods produce new plants from vegetative parts of the original plant, such as the leaves, stems and roots. These methods are generally referred to as vegetative propagation. Many plants can reproduce this way naturally, but vegetative propagation can also be artificially induced.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stem cutting is a vegetative propagation method in which a small portion of the plant’s stem is used to grow a new plant. The cut stem is planted in the moist soil where it can first develop roots and then into a new plant.
