In which one among the following the vegetative propagation takes place through Eye Buds ?
Explanation
Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction where new plants are produced from vegetative parts like roots, stems, or leaves. In the Potato (Solanum tuberosum), this process occurs through its modified underground stem, known as a tuber.
- Eye Buds: The surface of a potato tuber features small depressions called "eyes." These eyes contain axillary buds, often referred to as eye buds.
- Reproduction: When a portion of the tuber containing an eye is planted in moist soil, the bud sprouts to develop into a new plant.
Regarding the other options: Ginger propagates through rhizomes (underground stems), Onion reproduces via bulbs, and Sugarcane is typically grown using stem cuttings where new growth emerges from the nodes.
