Resumen
Descripción
Plants have two ways of reproduction, sexual by means of seeds, and asexually or vegetative by means of vegetative tissue. Both ways occur in living plants in nature. Genetically the two ways of reproduction differ. Seeds contain genes from the female parent-wherewe collect the seeds- and the male parent-which contribute the pollen and which is often unknown. There are four main uses of vegetative propagation in a Tree Breeding Programme: the establishement of clonal seed orchards, the establish ment of clonal banks, the propagation of special breeding material, and mass propagation of selected materials.
