Understanding the germination of bulbils from an ecological perspective: a case study on Chinese yam (Dioscorea polystachya) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2010 Bulbils serve as a means of vegetative reproduction and of dispersal for many plants; this latter aspect making them analogous to seeds. However, germination of bulbils may differ considerably from seeds due to dissimilar anatomical structures and perhaps environmental cue perception.
