propagules

Instead, the yeast quickly evolved a form of reproduction by splitting off what the authors call "propagules," or smaller clusters that break off and go on to develop on their own.

All of these forms of vegetative growth, called propagules, may be removed from the parent plant and used to propagate new pineapple plants.

(Birds that specialize in eating seeds, as opposed to fruits containing seeds, crush and digest the seeds and therefore do not disperse viable propagules.)

Seed dispersal of desert plants 2009

Seeds are dormant propagules with almost no metabolism and great resistance to environmental extremes.

Adaptations of desert plants 2009

The simplest response (linear) would be for the propagules of the vegetation of any zone under consideration to migrate northward and eventually reconstitute the zone further north – in effect a "migration" of the zone northward through regeneration over time, so that present-day zones are replaced in the same sequence by the zones found to the south (Fig. 14.17).

Fertilized ova develop into seeds, which are the sexual propagules of flowering plants.
