Describe the difference between determinate and indeterminate plants and give examples of each

What will be an ideal response?


Some plants are determinate, which means that once flowering initiates, the vegetative growth ceases. Fruit of a determinate plant will mature at about the same time. Examples of determinate crops include corn and small grains. Plants that are indeterminate keep producing vegetation and new flowers after the first flowers are produced. The fruit of indeterminate plants will mature at varying times. Examples of indeterminate crops include potato and peanut. Some crops such as soybean and cotton can have both determinate and indeterminate varieties.
