Objective
The goal of discipline is to provide the concepts of underground systems and analyze their potential to vegetative propagation. Will be presented, in addition to different types of underground systems, the buds development and anatomical characteristics of the propagation process.

Content
Classification of types of buds; Morphological and anatomical differentiation of underground systems: rhizomes, rhizophores; xylopodia, lignotubers, tuberous roots, gemmiferous roots, soboles, bulbs, corms, tubers. Relationship between gemmiferous capacity of systems and vegetative propagation.
