In this article we will discuss about the process of transition in flowers, explained with the help of suitable diagrams. Reproductive apex exhibits plastochron size fluctuations during the development of floral parts/primordia. The apex may widen and become slightly flattened. In Liriodendron the apex becomes conical and elongated. Smith (1966) reported the horizontal and vertical enlargement of the apex in [...]
The below mentioned article provides biology notes on Flowers or Floral Organs. Flower is a specialized condensed shoot of an angiospermic plant in which the shoot apical meristem gets transformed into floral meristem for carrying out sexual reproduction through progressive specialisation of leaves into floral appendages. Like a branch, it may develop in the axil of small leaf-like structure called [...]
