Inflorecence scheme and floral diagram. 1 – glume, 2 – lemma, 3 – awn, 4 – palea, 5 – lodicules, 6 – stamens, 7 – ovary, 8 – styles. Flowers of Poaceae are characteristically arranged in spikelets, each having one or more florets. [8]: 12 The spikelets are further grouped into panicles or spikes. The part of the spikelet that ...
Within the order, by far the most important family economically is the family of grasses (Poaceae, syn. Gramineae), which includes the starch staples barley, maize, millet, rice, and wheat as well as bamboos (mostly used structurally, like wood, but somewhat as vegetables), and a few "seasonings" like sugarcane and lemongrass. Graminoids ...
Poaceae, also known as the true grasses, is the fourth largest plant family in the world with around 12,000 species and roughly 800 genera. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They contain, among others, the cereal crop species and other plants of economic importance, such as the bamboos , and several important weeds .
The first classification was published in Russian in 1954, and came to the attention of the rest of the world after publication of an English translation in 1958 as Origin of Angiospermous Plants. Further versions appeared in 1959 ( Die Evolution der Angiospermen ) and 1966 ( Sistema i filogeniia tsvetkovykh rastenii ). [ 1 ]
The BOP clade (sometimes BEP clade) is one of two major lineages (or clades) of undefined taxonomic rank in the grasses , containing more than 5,400 species, about half of all grasses. Well-known members of this clade include rice , some major cereals such as wheat , barley , oat , and rye , many lawn and pasture grasses, and bamboos .
Bamboos, Poaceae subfamily Bambusoideae, around 92 genera Note that banana 'trees' are not actually trees; they are not woody nor is the stalk perennial. Magnoliids (together with eudicots they are called broadleaf or hardwood trees)
Taxonomy [ edit ] Two separate tribes, Poeae and Aveneae, used to be distinguished based on morphology, but phylogenetic analysis showed that they are intermingled.
Poa [2] is a genus of about 570 species of grasses, native to the temperate regions of both hemispheres. Common names include meadow-grass (mainly in Europe and Asia), bluegrass (mainly in North America), tussock (some New Zealand species), and speargrass .
