True or False: Perennial plants are produced from seed in the spring and die at the end of the growing season. |
False. Annual plants are produced from seed and die at the end of the season. |
|
Vegetable phase |
Stem growth occurs by the apical meristem and through the addition/elongation of cells. |
|
True or False: The appearance of inflorescences serve as the signal to the transition of the plant changing from vegetative to reproductive. |
True |
|
Terminal Inflorescence |
When the apical meristem transforms into a reproductive meristem and produces an inflorescence. |
|
Determinant growth is popular in what? |
Agriculture and ornamental production |
|
True or False: Corn is an example of a plant with determinant growth. |
True |
|
Indeterminate growth |
Referred to as indeterminate since the length of the stem is not determined, but can continue throughout the year. Production continues until frost or another external factor. |
|
Why is indeterminate growth beneficial for landscaping? |

Solitary Flower Inflorescence |
Simple flowers that only support one flower. |
|
Peduncle |
The stem attaching the flower to the node from which it grew on a solitary inflorescence plant. |
|
Bract |
2nd to last node supports a leaf and the terminal node supports an inflorescence and a leaf |
|
Simple inflorescence (umbel) |
Contain peduncle, rachis, pedicel and a single flower structure. |
|
True or False: In a simple inflorescence, pedicels radiate out from a central point at the end of the peduncle and attach to a single flower. |
True |
|
Compound inflorescence (umbles in umbles) |
Similar to simple inflorescence except that they have a group of flowers instead of a simple flower. |
|
True or False: In a compound inflorescence, umbles radiate out from the end of the peduncle and the rachis is attached to the end of the umble . |
False: In a compound inflorescence, rachi radiate out from the end of the peduncle and the umbel is attached to the end of the rachis . |
