Question

Give difference between cladode and phylloclade?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Phylloclade  

• It is the structure in which stem and also main branch terminates into leaf like flattened structure  
• Main stem perform role in phylloclade  
• It contains both nodes and internodes  
• Many nodes and internodes are present.  
• True leaves are present as caducous.  
• It is present in Asparagus and Ruscus.  
• Phylloclade has mucilage

Cladode

• It is the structure in which only branch terminates into leaf like flattened structure
• Main stem do not perform role in cladode
• It contains only internodes
• One long internode only.
• True leaves are present as spines.
• It is present in opuntia and euphorbia.
• Cladodes do not have mucilage.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The key difference between phylloclade and cladode is that phylloclade shows unlimited growth and has several nodes and internodes while cladode shows a limited growth and has one internode.

• The key difference between phylloclade and cladode is that phylloclade shows unlimited growth and has several nodes and internodes while cladode shows a limited growth and has one internode.Phylloclade and cladode are two flattened structures that are photosynthetic and resemble leaf-like branches. Structurally, they resemble each other, and they are flattened green stems. They have the same function. They contain chlorophylls and carry out photosynthesis. Therefore, they appear in green colour. However, phylloclade has several internodes while cladode is one internode long. Besides, phylloclade shows unlimited growth when cladode is showing limited growth.
