Explain the terms: adelphy, syngeny & synandry.
Answers
Answer:
adelphy (uncountable) (botany) Fusion of stamen filaments.
Synergy is an interaction or cooperation giving rise to a whole that is greater than the simple sum of its parts. The term synergy comes from the Attic Greek word συνεργία synergia from synergos, συνεργός, meaning "working together".
synandry (uncountable)
(botany) Characteristic of a synandrous flower, or a plant bearing such.
Answer :-
(I) Adelphy:
It is a condition where filaments are variously fused, but the anthers are free.
(II) Syngeny:
It is a condition where all the anthers of a flower are united but the filaments are free. This condition is termed as syngenesious. E.g., sunflower (Helianthus).
(III) Synandry:
In this type, the stamens are united all along their length i.e., there is fusion of anthers and filaments. E.g., members of Cucurbitaceae.
