Question
Which of the following cannot serve as a vegetative propagule?
Answer: Option B
:
B
Sugarcane is propagated vegetatively primarily through stem cuttings or sections of the stalks called "setts", that is a section of thestem with at least one bud. Each sett contains one or more buds. The buds, located in at the nodes, and give rise to embryonic shoots consisting of a miniature stalk with small leaves. Therefore the internode of a sugarcane contain no bud and cannot be used as a vegetative propagule, whereas the eyes of a potato tuber, the rhizome of ginger and the leaflets on the margin of Bryophyllum are all vegetative propagules.
