WHAT DOES APOSPORY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

apospory

Vegetative reproduction

Vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction in plants. It is a process by which new organisms arise without production of seeds or spores. It can occur naturally or be induced by horticulturists. Although most plants normally reproduce sexually, many have the ability for vegetative propagation, or can be vegetatively propagated if small pieces are subjected to chemical treatments. This is because meristematic cells capable of cellular differentiation are present in many plant tissues. Horticulturalists are interested in understanding how meristematic cells can be induced to reproduce an entire plant. Success rates and difficulty of propagation vary greatly. For example willow and coleus can be propagated merely by inserting a stem in water or moist soil. On the other hand, monocotyledons, unlike dicotyledons, typically lack a vascular cambium and therefore are harder to propagate.

Definition of apospory in the English dictionary

The definition of apospory in the dictionary is development of the gametophyte from the sporophyte without the formation of spores. Other definition of apospory is the development of an embryo of a flowering plant outside the embryo sac, from a cell of the nucellus or chalaza.
