2. BUD:
Buds are undeveloped and un-elongated stems
composed of a very short axis of meristem cells
from which arise embryonic leaves, lateral buds and
some time only flower parts.
3. Bud Classification:
1- On the basis of function
Vegetative Buds
Reproductive buds
Simple buds
Mixed buds
Compound buds
4. 2- On the basis of activity
1. Dormant bud
2. Growing bud
5. 3- On the basis of position
1. Apical or terminal buds
2. Lateral or axillary buds
3. Adventitious buds
6. On the basis of Morphology
• Scaly bud/Covered bud
• Hairy bud
• Naked bud
7. Vegetative bud:
Those buds which bear unfolded or unexpanded
leaves together with primodium of vegetative buds
Flower bud:
Those buds in which bear unfolded or
unexpanded parts contain only flower parts. They
may contain brackets, hairs and are called fruit
bud
Simple bud:
Those buds which contains either flowers parts
or vegetative tissues.
Example: Cherry, Peach, Plum etc.
8. Mixed bud:
Those buds which contain flower parts as well ad
vegetative parts.
Example: Apple, Pear, Quince etc.
Compound buds:
Those buds which contain two or more vegetative
buds or mixed buds. Example: Grapes. In grapes
both branches and leaves on single bud some time
leaves as well as tendrils and fruit bunch.
Mixed Flower Buds in
pear
9. Apical or Terminal bud:
Those buds which develop at the apex of long shoots
or spurs; Example: Mango, Banana, Walnut, Letchi,
Loquat, Apple, Pear etc.
Lateral or Axillary bud:
Those buds which develop at the axil of leaves or on
the nodes of branches. Example: Plum, Cherry, Citrus,
Date palm, Mulberry etc.
10. Dormant bud:
Those buds which do not grow into shoots or spur
during dormant period of growth.
Example: Plum, Cherry, Apple, Peach etc.
11. 1. Growing bud
The sprouted bud which started to grow
is called as growing bud
1. Scaly bud/ covered . Covered with scale
or leaves to protect the embryonic
2. Naked not covered with scales
3. Hairy . Covered with hairs
