Flowers are modified shoots. This is evidenced by several points: flowers and shoot buds occupy the same positions on plants and can both be terminal or axillary. In some plants, flower buds can modify into vegetative buds, or the thalamus can elongate to form a new vegetative branch above the flower. Flowers also show transitional stages between sepals and petals and between petals and stamens. Anatomy of vascular tissue is similar between flowers and stems.

1. Flower Is Modified
Shoot
By Pankaj Kukreti

2. Explanation :-
Many Evidences , have
be Given to proof Flower Is
modified shoot are

3. Point 1st :-
• Position Of Flower
bus & shoot bud is
same in Plant , Both
are terminal & axillary
in Position

4. Point 2 :-
•In Some Plant Flower
bud modified into
vegetative Bud

5. Point 3 :-
•In Some Plant
Thalamus elongate to
form vegetative branch
of another , above the
first flower
•E.g :- Rose

6. Point 4th :-
•In lymphia (water lily) flower
show all transitional Stages
between sepal to petal & petal to
stamen

7. Point 5th :-
• In Cynandropesis ,
thalamus elongate show
internode b/w petal &
stamen.
The internode b/w
petal & Stamen called
Androphore & internode
b/w stamen & carpel
called gynophore

8. Point 6th :-
•In Case Of Rose Sepal
is morphological
similar to leaf

9. Point 7th :-
•In Degeneria stamen
are expended like leaf ,
carpel appear like
folded leaf with
differentianting into
stigma & Style

10. Point 8th :-
•Anatomy of thalamus ,
pedicel, stem show
similarity in case of
vascular supply
