INFLORESCENCE 1. Racemose : Inflorescence with monopodoal branching i.e., the inflorescence axis continues to grow and gives off lateral and axillary flowers. (i) Raceme: Racemose inflorescence having a common axis and stalked flowers arranged in acropetal succession, e.g., Brassica. (ii) Panicle: Axis of raceme is branched. (iii) Spike: Inflorescence is similar to raceme but the flowers are sessile: e.g., Achyranthes aspera. (iv) Spikelet: Very small spike of a compound spike forming a unit; e.g., grasses. (v) Catkin (or Ament) : A pendulous spike or spike-like inflorescence consisting of small unisexual flowers ; e.g., Morus alba. (vi) Spadix : A spike with thick and fleshy axis covered by a large spathe ; e.g., Maize. (vii) Corymb : It is a modified raceme with relatively a short main axis, in which the lower flowers have much elongated pedicels so that the flowers come to the same level ; e.g., Candytuft. (viii) Umbel : It is a modified raceme, in which the flowers have ...

MATURITY INDICES, HARVESTING AND POST HARVEST HANDLING OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

I. MATURITY It is the stage of fully development of tissue of fruit and vegetables only after which it will ripen normally. During the process of maturation the fruit receives a regular supply of food material from the plant. When mature, the abscission or corky layer which forms at the stern end stops this inflow. Afterwards, the fruit depend on its own reserves, carbohydrates are dehydrated and sugars accumulate until the sugar acid ratio form. In addition to this, typical flavour and characteristic colour also develop. it has been determined that the stage of maturity at the time of picking influence the storage life and quality of fruit, when picked immature like mango develop white patches or air pockets during ripening and lacking in normal brix acid ratio or sugar acid ratio, taste and flavour on the other hand if the fruits are harvested over mature or full ripe they are easy susceptible to microbial and physiological spoilage and their storage life is considerably reduce.

Collins English Dictionary defines Concord as “the way that a word has a form  appropriate  to the number or  gender  of the  noun  or  pronoun  it relates to. For  example , in 'She  hates  it', there is concord between the  singular  form of the  verb  and the singular pronoun 'she'.” Concord means harmony, an agreement or to be at peace. It has been derived from the Latin word concordis, con means the same and cordis is heart ; which indicates perfect harmony. In grammar, the subject and the verb have to be in perfect harmony.
