What is Cymose type of inflorescence?
The cymose inflorescence is also known as determinate inflorescence and is characterized by the presence of a flower at the apex of the floral axis. The main axis has limited growth in this case. The lateral axis terminates into a flower and limits the growth of the axis.
What is cyme inflorescence?
cymose inflorescence (cyme; definite inflorescence) A type of flowering shoot (see inflorescence) in which the first-formed flower develops from the growing region at the top of the flower stalk (see illustration).
What is an example of Racemose inflorescence?
Types of Racemose Inflorescence: ... Raceme: When flowers with pedicel are arranged in acropetal manner. Example: mustard (Brassica campestris), radish (Raphanus sativus). Spike: When flowers without pedicel are arranged in acropetal manner.
What is the main difference between Racemose and Cymose inflorescence?
| Racemose inflorescence | Cymose inflorescence |
|---|---|
| This is an indefinite or indeterminate type of inflorescence | This is a definite or determinate type of inflorescence |
| The main axis does not end the growth with a flower | The main axis ends the growth with a flower |
What is Polychasial cyme?
Page 11. Monochasial Cyme. The terminal bud of main axis ends in flower. A single lateral branch pushes it to one side but also itself ends in a flower. The process is repeated.
What is a flower which has all four parts called?
A typical flower has four main parts—or whorls—known as the calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium (Figure 1). The outermost whorl of the flower has green, leafy structures known as sepals. The sepals, collectively called the calyx, help to protect the unopened bud.
What does bract mean?
1 : a leaf from the axil of which a flower or floral axis arises. 2 : a leaf borne on a floral axis especially : one subtending a flower or flower cluster.
What does cyme stand for?
: an inflorescence in which each floral axis terminates in a single flower especially : a determinate inflorescence of this type containing several flowers with the first-opening central flower terminating the main axis and subsequent flowers developing from lateral buds — see inflorescence illustration.
What are the two types of inflorescence?
There are two types of inflorescence - Racemose and Cymose.
What is Basipetal order?
It is a modified form of cymose inflorescence. Here, new flowers are placed at the bottom, and the relatively older flowers are placed at the top. Basipetal order is clearly visible in biparous and multiparous cymose inflorescences. Basipetal order is the opposite arrangement of acropetal order.
What is the main character of spadix inflorescence?
Spadix: Inflorescence Of The Arum Family (Araceae)
The spadix is the characteristic inflorescence of the remarkable arum family (Araceae). It consists of a thickened, fleshy axis (spike) bearing clusters of sessile, apetalous, unisexual flowers.
How do you identify a Corymb inflorescence?
A corymb is a raceme in which the pedicels of the lower flowers are longer than those of the upper flowers so that the inflorescence has a flat-topped appearance overall, as in hawthorn (Crataegus).
