Floral biology and breeding behavior were studied in the bamboo Dendrocalamus strictus Nees. The inflorescence in this species is a large branching panicle. Fertile florets are intermixed with smaller sterile ones. There are six stamens. The ovary is stipitate and turbinate. The style is long and the stigma is bifid and plumose. Dendrocalamus strictus is typically dichogamous and protogynous. The gynoecium matures 3-4 days before the androecium, effectively preventing self pollination. Flower bloom, which took place over a period of 2 to 3 h, was dependent on air temperature and only occurred between 0600 and 1300 h. Dendrocalamus strictus is anemophilous. Flowers in the male phase were visited by insects. These insects completely neglected the flowers at the female phase. The insects fed on the pollen and were not pollen vectors. When wind was excluded by enclosing the inflorescences in bags there was no seed set, indicating that cross pollination by wind is necessary for fertilization and that parthenocarpy and apomixis are not occurring in this species. Pollen fertility was about 98% as indicated by staining fresh pollen at the time of anther dehiscence and pollen release with Alexander's stain (Alexander 1969). When placed on a modified Brewbaker-Kwak medium containing 1% glucose, the pollen grains germinated well, and the pollen tubes grew to 15-20 times the diameter of mature pollen grains. Although profound protogyny has its disadvantages in times of sporadic flowering, it can be useful in breeding programs because it eliminates the need for emasculation.

I do not it is possible, try puting the seeds on another  fabric bag.

all off spring plants will be similar to that of parent plant in all characters .even the delicate characters like taste ,colour shape of fruit ,smell are 100%similar.\n\nthis true to type nature is obtained by going for vegetative or asexual propagation methods like budding, grafting, stem cuttings, root cuttings, leaf cuttings etc.

Plant tissue cultures isolated from even a single cell can show variation after repeated subculture. Distinct lines can be selected with their own particular morphology and physiology. It suggests that the tissue culture contains a population of genotypes whose proportion can be altered by imposing an appropriate selection pressure. This variation can be transmitted to plants regenerated from the tissue cultures, and is called somaclonal variation. It provides an additional source of novel variation for exploitation by plant breeders.

Just what it sounds like: producing lots of genetically identical plants.\n\nUnlike animal cloning plant cloning is a natural proccess that plants used for millions of years before humans evolved. Many plants can reproduce identical copies of themsleves from their roots, or by dropped limbs or from other parts of their bodies.\n\nHumans have used plant cloning for as long as we have been farming. Common cloning techniques include the use of cuttings, runners, grafts, splitting of bulbs and the planting of tubers and bulbs.

just keep watering them, and they will grow on their own\n  ( please read with sarcasm)

Plants cannot change color in and of themselves.  What could happen, though, is that one plant could be pollinated by a neighboring plant and it would produce seed that contained some of the characteristics of both plants.

design it just like any other plant, however this is realyl complicated.  I bet you 10 points nobody answers this correctly.

It seems that you want to know how different varieties of roses come in to existence.Here is the answer:-\n Introduction of new character/colour/size is possible only  by cross pollinating the flowers of two different types of roses.\nThe resultant fruits and seeds are collected and the seeds are allowed to grow till the resultant plants begin to show the desired features. It is entirely a matter of chance. \nOnly these plants are then multiplied by vegetative methods such as cuttings, layering, grafting and last but not the least is by tissue culturing.\nRemember, the vegetative methods of propagation or multiplication or reproduction can only maintain the existing charactrs intact in the next generation of plants.They are just the carbon copies of the original.\nFor introduction of new characters or combination of characters sexual reproduction is required.The resultant plant from two different lines is called HYBRID. The hybrid tea roses that you mentioned come in the same categoty.\nMany of the lay people do not know that roses show pollination and fertilization and produce normal fruits and seeds. This is because these thngs are undertaken only in the commmercial nurseries. Common people are intrested only in cut flower shows.

I can't be sure, but I think oatmeal would work. That's what the stuff we were growing them on in genetics lab looked like, anyway.

two distinct forms have to be different species... don't really get what you're asking but hope that helps...

Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise. There are four modes of natural speciation, based on the extent to which speciating populations are geographically isolated from one another: allopatric, peripatric, parapatric, and sympatric. Speciation may also be induced artificially, through animal husbandry or laboratory experiments.\n\nThere are many means for an organism to split into two species.  When this happens, it doesn't mean that one organism ceases to exist.  For example, when nectarines were bred using peach stock, it doesn't mean that peaches no longer exist.\n\n\nDuring allopatric speciation, a population splits into two geographically isolated allopatric populations (for example, by habitat fragmentation due to geographical change such as mountain building or social change such as emigration). The isolated populations then undergo genotypic and/or phenotypic divergence as they (a) become subjected to dissimilar selective pressures or (b) they independently undergo genetic drift. When the populations come back into contact, they have evolved such that they are reproductively isolated and are no longer capable of exchanging genes.

Cuttings - take a piece of the plant, usually stem, and plant it. With luck it will root & grow into a clone of the original plant. (You can also take leaf & root cuttings.)\n\nMicropopagation -take just a few plant cells. Put into a special culture medium & treat with plant hormones. The cells divide and form a callus. Alter the ratio of hormones and the callus grows roots. Alter them again and it then grows leaves. You then have a very small plant.

Bamboo:\nBamboo can outgrow any other plant in the world. It is as if its entire lifespan is one enormous growth spurt. To see for himself how fast bamboo can grow, Janssen once marked a stalk while visiting a bamboo plantation. He remembers taking a walk around the plantation and returning again to the marked stalk. "In two hours, it had grown above the mark by a few centimeters," he says. A Japanese scientist once measured what is believed to be the fastest growth rate for any bamboo. A culm of ma-dake, Japan's most common bamboo, grew nearly four feet in one 24-hour day.\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lostempires/china/miracle2.html\n\nFilamentous hyphae:\nIt has also been estimated that if all the filamentous hyphae produced in one day by a single massive soil fungus permeating acres of forest soil were laid end to end, they could extend for nearly a mile--but this is not substantiated.\nhttp://waynesword.palomar.edu/ww0601c.htm#growing\n\nAlgae:\nDr. Isaac Berzin is the founder of GreenFuel Technologies Corporation. Berzin is working on a prototype that uses algae to convert power plant emissions into biofuels.  Dr Berzin insists that algae are the fastest growing plants on earth. Their doubling time is measured in hours.\n\nHe grows algae because they're super rich in oil. In some species, oil accounts for half the little creature's body mass. In fact, algae synthesize 30 times more vegetable oil per acre than plants like sunflowers or rapeseed. \n\nAlgae biodiesel can be used to run engines, or converted into methane or fermented into alcohol. And here's the best part: algae eat carbon dioxide for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And one thing the global warming world has too much of is CO2 from fossil fuel burning power plants.\nhttp://www.loe.org/shows/segments.htm?programID=06-P13-00002&segmentID=3
