Producing new plants by human intervention and artificial methods.

Producing new plants by human intervention and artificial methods. Techniques such as taking and growing cuttings, or grafting parts of one plant onto another, have been used since ancient times to reproduce desirable characteristics, or simply avoid the need to wait for them to flower and reproduce. Taking plant cuttings is in fact a kind of cloning, making exact copies of an original organism.
