Thalamus may elongate to show internodes

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The flower is considered a modified shoot because the floral axis (thalamus or receptacle) can sometimes elongate to reveal distinct internodes between different floral whorls. Examples of such internodal elongation include the anthophore (between calyx and corolla),androphore (between corolla and androecium),and gynophore (between androecium and gynoecium). This structural arrangement provides evidence that the flower is a modified shoot with condensed nodes and internodes.
