Question : Differentiate between Racemose and cymose inflorescence

1.	Question : Differentiate between Racemose and cymose inflorescence
Answer» Solution :In racemose inflorescence, the floral axis SHOWS indeterminate growth producing flowers in an acropetal order, i.e., the oldest flower is the lowest and the youngest uppermost. The number of flowers is theoretically unlimited. In cymose inflorescence the growth of the main axis is determinate, i.e., the DEVELOPMENT of the first flower limits apical growth of the main axis of the inflorescence and the other flowers are formed in a basipetal SEQUENCE. The oldest flower is THUS terminal and the YOUNGER onesare lateral.
