The Types of Inflorescences -
The Types of Inflorescences
- Growth of plant organs can occur according to two different schemes:
- Monopodial
- Sympodial
- In monopodial scheme of growth, the terminal bud continues to grow and remains intact. It grows as a leader shoot. The lateral branching occurs with the help of axillary buds. There is a single growing point, hence monopodial.
- In sympodial scheme of growth, the terminal bud ceases to grow and terminates into a definite structure. The axillary bud gives rise to a new leader shoot. There are many growing points in a plant.
- In inflorescences, monopodial growth pattern is called indeterminate while sympodial growth pattern is called determinate.
- Depending on whether the apex gets converted into a flower or continues to grow, there are two major types of inflorescences:
- Racemose: it is indeterminate and open type of inflorescence
- Cymose: it is determinate and closed type of inflorescence
-Cymose shows terminal flower due to sympodial growth.
