Introduction


All plants are living organisms.


Man depends on plants for many
purposes:


Basic to all mankind is the need
for food and fiber production.

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Introduction, cont.


Most of the world has a diet that is high
in fruits and vegetables.





To a lesser extent, the
protein portion of a typical
diet is supplied by meat.


William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Intent of Lesson

To discuss methods of
propagating plants for the
purpose of food and/or fiber
production.

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Definitions

What is Propagation?

Reproduction and growth in
plants


William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Why Propagation?


To Understand, Know the History

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

History of Plant Propagation


In nomadic times, man would
move from place to place. He
harvested plants or hunted
animals that he encountered
along the way.

William L. Love, Calipatria HS


Quite by accident, someone would drop
some seeds, probably from refuse, in a spot
that provided the requirements for plant
growth.


adequate moisture


fertile soil


temperature


protection from the elements.



Later in the season or year, on a return trip,
someone would notice that plants were
growing, and then harvest the fruits, seeds,
and/or foliage.


An Accident?!?!

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Propagating and cultivating
begins


Man could now provide for himself
without the need for constant
movement.


Less movement meant less danger to
the clan and a steady supply of nutrient
materials.

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

In the beginning…

Man became the crudest of farmers.

As time passed, man
had the need to
increase the amount of
materials produced.


William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Development of Society

As society developed man moved
from the
agricultural age







to the industrial age.

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Moving Populous


As mankind moved from the
country

to the
city
, so too did
the need for

greater production
of foodstuffs
.



William L. Love, Calipatria HS

The Agricultural Age

Majority of population lived in the country


During the time of the agricultural age, fully
one
-
third of a farms production went to:


supplying the needs of the farmer


his family


farm workers, and


maintenance of the animals that were used to
produce the food.

We have always assumed that production from the
farm was sold, for use off of the farm.

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Population moved from the country to the cities.


Population levels increased.

Need for higher production yields increased
dramatically with the increased population.


This was enhanced by a
global economy
.

Food and fiber was exported to countries that were
technologically incapable of producing for
themselves.

Industrial Age

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

In the beginning of the century a typical
American Farmer produced enough
food for himself and 7 other people.

Who is the Typical American
Farmer?

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

At the close of the century the
ratio had increased to 1
farmer for every 500+ people.


In addition to the numbers being fed
increasing;

the number of farmers
decreased
.


1990 census, the number of farmers
was reported as an
insignificant
percentage of the population

(less
than 2%).


Less Than 100 Years Later

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Today , all over the world….

Yet all of the United
States and many
foreign people
depend on the US
farmer as their
source of food and
fibers.



William L. Love, Calipatria HS

The producer.


The goal of every producer: increased
production

Who Recognized this?

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Mother Nature and Plant
Production

Generally, man has depended on Mother
Nature to supply the means for plant
production.

However, with an increased population
and a declining number of producers,
Mother Nature needs a helping hand.

The birth of biotechnology!!!

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Plant Production

You place a seed in the ground

nurture it and in a short time…



a plant can produce fruits,
seeds or fibers.

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Along the way, man
developed different methods
to help Mother Nature…

Grafting techniques
-

a method of
producing plants that are difficult to
grow from seeds or as the method of
inventing new or better plants.


William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Grafting is Biotechnology!


Grafting of a tomato plant.

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Grafting


In grafting a live plant is cut in such a way to
allow the implanting of live tissue from
another plant. This in essence, creates a
new plant that has desirable effects greater
than either of the donor plants.


An example is the Walnut Tree, a cross
between a Black Walnut and an English
Walnut.


Nectarines are another example.

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Biotechnology progresses

With the
discovery of
the DNA
molecule man
has been able
to invent a
new method
of producing
superior
plants.


William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Genetic Engineering


Genetic engineering is the manipulation of
the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule to
change the traits that are expressed by the
molecule in an organism.


The manipulation involves the “cutting” of the
molecule and “inserting” another portion of a
DNA.


All of this is possible due to the identification
of parts of the DNA molecule and the traits
that each portion produce.


William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Cloning

This method is cloning. Cloning
produces, what some would call, “super
plants”.

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

What is a “Super Plant?”

Plants that are genetically
identical to its predecessors.


Plants are selected


based on the most


desirable characteristics


such as

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Super plants advantages


Higher yields


Resistance to diseases


Pest resistance


Drought tolerance


Heat tolerance

William L. Love, Calipatria HS

Super plants disadvantages


Decrease in the gene pool


Allergies of man to altered plant genetics


Some of the disadvantages are not
proven and can only be speculated
