Why is plant propagation important?
Plant propagation- reproduction of new plants from seeds and vegetative parts, such as leaves, stems, or roots
Produce new and better breeds of plants faster
Can reproduce exact duplicates of desirable plants
Can increase quality of plants
![Page 4: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Asexual propagation?
Asexual propagation Reproduction of new plants from existing
stem, leaf or root of parent plant No seed is formed Produces an exact duplicate of the parent
plant called a clone Can produce new plants from plants that
are difficult to produce from seed

What are stem cuttings?
Stem cuttings: A portion of the stem that contains a
terminal bud or lateral buds is cut and placed in growing media to produce roots.

Layering
Layering is a mean of plant propagation in which a portion of an aerial stem grow roots while still attached to the parent plant and then detaches as an independent plant
![Page 19: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Separation Method
Separation Take mature plants that were
stolons or offspring from a parent plant and separate.

Tissue culture (often called micropropagation) is a
special type of asexual propagation where a very small
piece of tissue (shoot apex, leaf section, or even an
individual cell) is excised (cut-out) and placed in sterile
(aseptic) culture in a test tube, Petri dish or tissue
culture container containing a special culture medium.

Areas of Tissue Culture Collection
![Page 26: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Overview of the Tissue Culture Process
![Page 27: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1. It can create a large number of clones from a single explant.
2. It is easy to select desirable traits directly from the culture setup (in vitro), thereby decreasing the amount of space required for field trials.
3. The time required is much shortened, no need to wait for the whole life cycle of seed development.
4. For species that have long generation time, low levels of seed production, or seeds that do not readily germinate, rapid propagation is possible.

![Page 28: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
5. It overcomes seasonal restrictions for seed germination.
6. It enables the preservation of pollen and cell collections form which plants may be propagated.
7. It helps to eliminate plant diseases through careful stock selection and sterile techniques.

Grafting is a method of asexual plant propagation
widely used in agriculture and horticulture where the
tissues of one plant are encouraged to fuse with those
of another in such a way so that maximum cambial
contact takes place.
Grafting
![Page 30: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Rootstock:
That part of a tree which becomes the root system
of a grafted or budded tree.
Scion:
A piece of last year's growth with three or four buds;
the part inserted on the understock.
To understand Grafting
Cambium:
The growing part of the tree; located between the
wood and bark.
![Page 31: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Types of Grafting
Cleft Graft Bark Graft Side-Veneer Graft Splice Graft Whip and Tongue Graft Saddle Graft Bridge Graft Inarch Graft Approach Graft
![Page 32: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
One of the simplest and most popular forms of grafting, cleft
grafting is a method for top working both flowering and fruiting trees
(apples, cherries, pears, and peaches) in order to change varieties.
Cleft Graft
The rootstock used for cleft grafting should range from 1 to 4
inches in diameter and should be straight.
The scion should be about 1/4 inch in diameter, straight, and long
enough to have at least three buds.
![Page 33: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Cleft Graft
![Page 34: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Bark Graft
This technique can be applied to rootstock of larger diameter (4 to 12 inches). Cut surface of the rootstock and make a vertical slit through the bark where each scion can be inserted (2 inches long and spaced 1 inch apart).
Prepare several scions for each graft. Cut the base of each scion to a 1 ½- to 2-inch tapered wedge on one side only.
![Page 35: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Bark Graft
![Page 36: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Side-Veneer Graft
Side-veneer grafting is usually done on potted rootstock.
Make a shallow downward cut about 3/4 inch to 1 inch long at
the base of the stem on the potted rootstock to expose a flap of
bark with some wood still attached.
Make an inward cut at the base so that the flap of bark and wood
can be removed from the rootstock.
Choose a scion with a diameter the same as or slightly smaller
than the rootstock. Make a sloping cut 3/4 to 1 inch long at the base
of the scion.
![Page 37: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Side-Veneer Graft
![Page 38: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Splice Graft
In splice grafting, both the stock and scion must be of the same
diameter.
Cut off the rootstock using a diagonal cut 3/4 to 1 inch long.
Make the same type of cut at the base of the scion. Fit the scion
to the stock.
Wrap this junction securely with a rubber grafting strip or twine.
![Page 39: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Whip and Tongue Graft
Both the rootstock and scion should be of equal size and
preferably no more than 1/2 inch in diameter.
Cut off the stock using a diagonal cut. The cut should be four to
five times longer than the diameter of the stock to be grafted.
Make the same kind of cut at the base of the scion.
![Page 41: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Whip and Tongue Graft
![Page 42: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Saddle Graft
Both rootstock and scion should be the same diameter.
Stock should not be more than 1 inch in diameter.
Using two opposing upward strokes of the grafting knife, sever
the top from the rootstock. The resulting cut should resemble an
inverted V, with the surface of the cuts ranging from 1/2 to 1 inch
long.
Now reverse the technique to prepare the base of the scion

Bridge Graft
Bridge grafting is used to "bridge" a diseased or damaged area
of a plant, usually at or near the base of the trunk.
Select scions that are straight and about twice as long as the
damaged area to be bridged. Make a 1 1/2- to 2-inch-long tapered
cut on the same plane at each end of the scion.
Cut a flap in the bark on the rootstock the same width as the
scion and below the injury to be repaired.

Inarch Graft
Inarching, like bridge grafting, is used to bypass or support a
damaged or weakened area of a plant stem.
Unlike bridge grafting, the scion can be an existing shoot,
sucker, or watersprout that is already growing below and
extending above the injury.
The scion may also be a shoot of the same species as the
injured plant growing on its own root system next to the main
trunk of the damaged tree.
![Page 47: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Approach grafting is a method used to propagate plants in which one independent plant is fused with another independent plant. It is usually done when the two plants grow close to each other.
At the point where the two plants will join, a 1- 2 inch long slice of bark is cut on each stem.
The two stems are bound together, with the cut areas touching, using any wrapping material.

Dwarfing: To induce dwarfing or cold tolerance or other characteristics to the scion
Ease of propagation: Because the scion is difficult to propagate vegetatively by other means, such as by cuttings.
Hybrid breeding: To speed maturity of hybrids in fruit tree breeding programs. Hybrid seedlings may take ten or more years to flower and fruit on their own roots. Grafting can reduce the time to flowering and shorten the breeding program.
Hardiness: Because the scion has weak roots or the roots of the stock plants have roots tolerant of difficult conditions.
Sturdiness: To provide a strong, tall trunk for certain ornamental shrubs and trees.
Advantages of Grafting
![Page 51: Plant propagation techniques](https://reader035.fdocuments.fr/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58abba5f1a28ab04618b5b09/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Repair: To repair damage to the trunk of a tree that would prohibit nutrient flow, such as stripping of the bark by rodents that completely girdles the trunk.
Changing cultivars: To change the cultivar in a fruit orchard to a more profitable cultivar, called topworking. It may be faster to graft a new cultivar onto existing limbs of established trees than to replant an entire orchard.
Maintain consistency: Apples are notorious for their genetic variability, even differing in multiple characteristics, such as, size, color, and flavor, of fruits located on the same tree.
Pollen source: To provide pollenizers. For example, in tightly planted or badly planned apple orchards of a single variety, limbs of crab apple may be grafted at regularly spaced intervals onto trees down rows, say every fourth tree.
