reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Producing viable embryos (in seeds) asexually. |
|
heterosporous |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Producing two types of spore, microspore and megaspore, which are sexually distinct and usually different in size, each megaspore giving rise to a megagametophyte, each microspore to a microgametophyte. |
|
amphicarpic |
= amphicarpous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing two morphologically or phenologically different types of fruit. |
|
amphicarpous |
= amphicarpic |
architecture |
plant |
Producing two morphologically or phenologically different types of fruit. |
|
tillering |
|
architecture |
plant, stem |
Producing tillers; esp. in Poaceae (Gramineae) and other monocotyledons (Liliidae). |
|
sarmentose |
= runnering, stoloniferous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing stolons (runners), by means of which it propagates vegetatively. |
|
stoloniferous |
= runnering, sarmentose |
architecture |
plant |
Producing stolons (runners), by means of which it propagates vegetatively. |
|
viviparous |
|
reproduction |
|
Producing sexually or asexually generated offspring that begin growth and development while borne upon the parent plant. |
|
runnering |
= sarmentose, stoloniferous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing runners (stolons), by means of which it propagates vegetatively. |
|
homosporous |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Producing only one type of spore, each spore giving rise to a gametophyte that bears gametangia of both sexual types. |
|
apogamous |
< apomictic, asexual |
reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Producing new sporophytes from the gametophytes asexually, without intervening fertilization (or gametes). |
|
apomictic |
= asexual; > agamospermous, apogamous, aposporous, vegetative |
reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Producing new plants by means not involving meiosis or fertilization. |
|
asexual |
= apomictic; > agamospermous, apogamous, aposporous, vegetative |
reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Producing new plants by means not involving meiosis or fertilization. |
|
vegetative |
< apomictic, asexual |
reproduction |
plant |
Producing new plants asexually by proliferation or fragmentation of sterile tissue, without formation of embryos (or seeds). The logical antecedent of this term is "reproduction," not the taxon in point or "plants," and syntax should be governed accordingly. Whenever this mode of reproduction is noted, the relevant propagative structures should be identified. |
|
aposporous |
< apomictic, asexual |
reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Producing new gametophytes from the sporophytes asexually, without intervening meiosis (or spores). |
|
fertile |
|
reproduction |
plant, reproductive structure |
Producing functional spores, gametes, pollen, ovules, seeds, or other propagules. |
|
nectariferous |
|
exudation |
|
Producing and secreting nectar; when glands are nectariferous, they are usually indicated nominatively as nectaries. |
|
laticiferous |
|
exudation |
|
Producing and exuding latex. |
|
oil-secreting |
|
exudation |
|
Producing and exuding an oily substance, often aromatic; when oil-secreting glands are indicated in the nominative, often they are called simply oil glands. |
