Answer:

Propagación vegetativa

Explanation:

La propagación vegetativa es un tipo de reproducción asexual vegetal a partir de células, tejidos u órganos (por ejemplo, hojas, tallos y raíces) capaces de dar origen a organismos genéticamente idénticos mediante mitosis. Este mecanismo ha sido explotado en mejoramiento genético y en agronomía a fin de reproducir plantas con características fenotípicas deseadas a partir de un número reducido de células somáticas. Las regiones de la planta capaces de dar origen a un nuevo organismos se conocen como propágulos, los cuales pueden ser rizomas (a partir de raíces), tubérculos (tallos), estolones (brote laterales), etc. Diferentes tipos de suculentas tales como, por ejemplo, <em>Sedum morganianum</em>, Sedum<em> rubrotinctum</em>, <em>Kalanchoe daigremontiana</em> y <em>Graptosedum</em> o “California Sunset” se reproducen vegetativamente mediante propágulos foliares.
