  1. 3. is a method of plant propagation using extremely small pieces of plant tissue taken from a carefully chosen and prepared mother plant, and growing these under laboratory conditions to produce new plants. It is widely used in commercial horticulture.
  2. 4. a fragment of plant tissue that is used as starting material for plant tissue culture
  3. 7. a mass of exudation and connective tissue that forms around a break in a bone and is converted into bone in healing
  4. 10. nicking, breaking, softening, or otherwise weakening of the seed coating meant to speed up germination
  5. 11. a cutting consisting of a leaf instead of a shoot commonly used in propagating a plant
  6. 12. the process of creating new plants
  7. 15. the cultivation of plant cells, tissues, or organs on specially formulated nutrient media
  8. 16. a young plant grown from seed
  9. 18. is the process of allowing a plant to transition from a protected indoor or greenhouse environment to the harsh outdoor conditions of fluctuating spring temperatures, wind, and full sun exposure
  10. 19. a disease of seedlings caused by several different fungi and fungus-like organisms
  11. 22. a method of propagation where the entire plant is separated into smaller, whole pieces that contain all vegetative parts
  12. 24. the total of an individual plant's aboveground parts, including stems, leaves, and reproductive structures
  13. 26. used to propagate plants that naturally produce suckers (new shoots) from their roots
  14. 27. an estimation of the viability of seeds within a population
  15. 28. the processes used to create an exact genetic replica of another cell, tissue or organism
  16. 29. It provides a gel-like consistency to the medium, allowing plant cells to adhere, grow, and differentiate
  17. 31. the new shoot is just removed (detached) from the parent for planting
  18. 32. a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism
Down
  1. 1. the reproduction of plants by seeds
  2. 2. the sowing of seeds directly into the garden or field
  3. 5. a thickening of or a hard thickened area on skin or bark
  4. 6. involves taking vegetative parts of a plant (stems, roots, and/or leaves) and causing them to regenerate into a new plant or, in some cases, several plants.
  5. 8. a process of pre-treating seeds in order to simulate natural conditions that seeds would experience in the soil over-winter
  6. 9. the rooted plant that receives the scion
  7. 13. you start seeds indoors early (before it would be the optimal time to sow that seed outdoors) and transplant them outside only once the weather is right
  8. 14. the act of joining two plants together
  9. 17. a cutting consisting of a segment of current season's growth with a leaf, axillary bud, and a small section of stem used in the propagation of various plants
  10. 20. a detached living portion of a plant (such as a bud or shoot) joined to a stock in grafting
  11. 21. a small or young plant
  12. 23. a technique of plant propagation where the new plant remains at least partially attached to the mother plant while forming new roots and can occur naturally through modified stem structures
  13. 25. includes a piece of stem plus any attached leaves or buds.
  14. 30. an asexual reproduction method in which a new organism develops from a bud of an existing organism
