In which one among the following the vegetative propagation takes place through Eye Buds ?

The correct answer is Potato

Explanation:

• Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction in plants where new plants grow from parts of the parent plant, such as stems, roots, leaves, or buds.
• Vegetative propagation involves the growth of a new plant from a fragment of the parent plant, such as a tuber, bulb, or root.
• Eye buds are a specific type of vegetative propagation where new plants are produced from the buds or "eyes" present on the tubers.
• The "eyes" of a potato are actually buds that can sprout and develop into a new plant.
• Each eye can grow into a separate plant, making it an efficient method of propagation for potatoes.
• This method ensures the new plant is genetically identical to the parent plant, maintaining desirable traits.

Other Options:

• Ginger: Ginger propagates vegetatively through rhizomes, which are horizontal underground stems that contain nodes from which new shoots and roots can develop. This is different from propagation through eye buds.
• Onion: Onion propagation commonly occurs through bulbs, not eye buds. The bulb is a modified stem that stores food and has layers of fleshy leaves. New onion plants can grow from the bulb's basal plate.
• Sugarcane: Sugarcane propagates vegetatively through stem cuttings or setts, which are segments of the sugarcane stalk that contain at least one node. These nodes can develop into new sugarcane plants when planted.
