The cabbage inflorescence, which appears in the plant's second year of growth, features white or yellow flowers, each with four perpendicularly arranged petals. Cabbage seedlings have a thin taproot and cordate (heart-shaped) cotyledons. The first leaves produced are ovate (egg-shaped) with a lobed petiole.
In biology, the BBCH-scale for leafy vegetables forming heads describes the phenological development of leafy vegetables forming heads, such as cabbage, chinese cabbage, lettuce and endive, using the BBCH-scale. The phenological growth stages and BBCH-identification keys of leafy vegetables forming heads are:
The main kind of cymose inflorescence is the cyme (pronounced / s aɪ m /), from the Latin cyma in the sense 'cabbage sprout', from Greek kuma 'anything swollen'). [9] [10] Cymes are further divided according to this scheme: Only one secondary axis: monochasium. Secondary buds always develop on the same side of the stem: helicoid cyme or bostryx
Cabbage plants. Cruciferous vegetables are vegetables of the family Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae) with many genera, species, and cultivars being raised for food production such as cauliflower, cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mustard plant and similar green leaf vegetables.
Brassicaceae (/ ˌ b r æ s ɪ ˈ k eɪ s iː ˌ iː,-s i ˌ aɪ /) or (the older) Cruciferae (/ k r uː ˈ s ɪ f ər i /) [2] is a medium-sized and economically important family of flowering plants commonly known as the mustards, the crucifers, or the cabbage family. Most are herbaceous plants, while some are shrubs.
Brassica oleracea is a plant of the family Brassicaceae, also known as wild cabbage in its uncultivated form. The species evidently originated from feral populations of related plants in the Eastern Mediterranean , where it was most likely first cultivated.
A plant which completes its life cycle (i.e. germinates, reproduces, and dies) within two years or growing seasons. Biennial plants usually form a basal rosette of leaves in the first year and then flower and fruit in the second year. bifid Forked; cut in two for about half its length. Compare trifid. bifoliate
Fourthly, plant morphology examines the pattern of development, the process by which structures originate and mature as a plant grows. While animals produce all the body parts they will ever have from early in their life, plants constantly produce new tissues and structures throughout their life.
