Propagation of “Irish” potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers
• conventional method: tuber is cut into sections, with an “eye” or node included; tubers used for propagation are called “seed” potatoes
• micropropagation: veg. buds are excised, grown, multiplied in culture, handled to produce “microtubers” for virus-indexed “seed” stock
• potato tubers are modified stems

Propagation by tuberous roots
• Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas)– adventitious shoots develop on the fleshy root
– new “slips” are covered with soil, develop adventitious roots
• Dahlia– plants are dug in the fall, divided
– ea. divided section contains a tuberous root and a piece of the crown with a shoot bud

Rhizomes
• Defn: specialized stem with the main axis of the plant growing horizontally at or below the ground surface
• Types– Pachymorph: a short, thick, fleshy clump, determinate
(terminating in a flowering shoot), e.g., German iris
– Leptomorph: a slender stem with long internodes, indeterminate (growing continuously from the terminal apex); e.g., lily-of-the-valley)

Division of rhizomes
• pachymorphs – rhizome sections are cut off, transplanted
• leptomorphs - lateral offshoots (1st or 2nd yr) or pips (3rd-yr shoots) removed and transplanted
• culm cuttings - culm (aerial flowering shoot) is laid horizontally, branches arise at the nodes (e.g., bamboo)

Pseudobulbs
• Defn: specialized storage structure of epiphytic orchids
• Propagation methods– offshoots develop at the nodes of a long, jointed pseudobulb
(e.g., Dendrobium)
– rhizome division (Cattleya), cut back from the terminal end to include 4-5 pseudobulbs in each section
– micropropagation

Micropropagation of orchids
• disinfestation and plating of a shoot tip
• formation of a “protocorm”
• multiple shoots develop from protocorms
• shoots are separated, rooted, transplanted to soil

Recap
• Tubers and tuberous roots
• Rhizomes - types and propagation methods
• Pseudobulbs and protocorms - propagation methods for orchids
• And, from the text (Ch. 15): Who discovered that orchids could be vegetatively propagated by protocorms?
