Definitions [1]
Define the term inflorescence.
- A flower is a modified shoot wherein the shoot apical meristem changes to a floral meristem. Internodes do not elongate and the axis gets condensed.
- The apex produces different kinds of floral appendages laterally at successive nodes instead of leaves. When a shoot tip transforms into a flower, it is always solitary. The arrangement of flowers on the floral axis is termed inflorescence.
