    Horticulture is the branch of plant agriculture which uses asexual or vegetative reproduction. This means that is based on the ability of plants to regenerate tissues and parts. As a result of asexual reproduction, the plants are the same, cloned (there is no genetic variation like in reproduction that uses seeds, sexual). Three reasons why might a horticulturist not want a plant to reproduce sexually by seeds:

    1. In asexual reproduction superior plant may be reproduced endlessly without variation,

    2. Asexual reproduction may be an easier technique,

    3. Asexual reproduction is faster because there are no seed dormancy problems and the juvenile nonflowering stage is eliminated or reduced.
