In which plants are "adventitious buds" found? Someone told me that adventitious buds are found in jackfruit. Is it true?

Answer 1

Victoria Angeli

Dalbergia, Jackfruit, Bryophyllum, etc.

Adventitious buds are abnormal, found at points other than normal axils of the stem. They arise from abnormal positions such as leaf, roots, etc. Smetimes it persists in adverse conditions.
In Jackfruits, in special circumstances, inflorescence buds are found on the roots in soil. These buds lead to an undergrond jackfruit. Thank you.
