What is Maize Flower Structure and Inflorescence about?
Maize flowers are unisexual and arranged in long, crowded inflorescences containing either male or female flowers but not both. The male inflorescences are located on terminal branches while the female inflorescences are on lateral branches. Each male flower is a pair of small flowers enclosed in bracts, while the female flowers are arranged spirally on the cob and enclosed by thin, transparent bracts consisting of an ovary with a single ovule and a protruding style.
