Question
How does vegetative propagation take place in sweet potato, mint?
Solution
Vegetative propagation in the following plants:
(i) In sweet potato, the roots bear adventitious buds. These buds develop into new individual under favourable conditions.
(ii) In case of mint (Pudina), plant, the branches grow for some distances from the parent plant on the ground. These branches after travelling some distance give rise a cluster of adventitious roots below into the ground and a tuft of leaves above. These branches are called suckers in case of mint plant. On breaking from the parent plant, each branch gives rise a new individual plant.
