ABSTRACT
In many cases, vegetative propagation is accompanied by regeneration or renewal of missing organs in the detached plant parts: formation of roots on breaking twigs, development of adventive buds on falling leaflets, and so on. Often, in the course of vegetative propagation, all organs of an offspring are formed prior to separation from the mother plant. Offspring developed in the process of vegetative propagation are clones, genetically homogeneous individuals sharing the genotype of the mother plant. If separated parts are viable, the particulation leads to vegetative propagation, that is, increase of number of individuals. In natural conditions, success of vegetative propagation is determined by age of plants passing to vegetative propagation, degree of rejuvenation of the vegetative offspring, distance between the offspring and maternal plant, and durability of physiological contacts between them. The first type of vegetative propagation is not effective because the particles die off quickly.
