The duplication of a whole plant from a range of vegetative materials; adapted for in vitro culture as micropropagation.

1. The movement of an atmospheric phenomenon. This term is frequently applied to the motion of thunderstorms into regions favorable for their continued development (into a maritime tropical airmass).

2. The transmission of electromagnetic energy as waves through or along a medium.

If an exception is thrown within a method, and there is no appropriate exception handler within the method, the exception may be propagated to the caller of the method. For a checked exception, the method must contain a throws clause in its header. A throws clause is not necessary for an unchecked exception {exception!unchecked} to be propagated.

The motion of waves through or along a medium. Note: For electromagnetic waves, propagation may occur in a vacuum as well as in material media.
