Poaceae
Oryza sativa, commonly known as Asian rice belonging to the family Poaceae or Gramineae. Rice is the most widely grown tropical cereal, and over 400 million tonnes of milled rice is produced each year. Rice is a staple food of South Asia and a vast number of people are employed in its cultivation.
Lemma is
-
Superior palea
-
Inner palea
-
Both A and B
-
Inferior or outer palea
The spikelet inflorescence is seen in family Poaceae. The spikelet consists of a short axis called rachilla on which 1 to many sessile or short-stalked flowers are borne. The florets may be arranged in the alternate or opposite manner on the central axis. At the base of rachilla two sterile scales, called glumes, are present. Above the glumes a series of florets are present. Each floret has an inferior palea or lemma and above it a superior palea is present. Hence, Lemma is the inferior or outer palea.
Which is not included in Poaceae family

- Poaceae or Gramineae is a large and nearly ubiquitous family of monocotyledonous flowering plants known as grasses. Poaceae includes the cereal grasses such as paddy, wheat, rice; bamboos and the grasses of natural grassland and cultivated lawns and pasture.
- The mustard plant is a plant species in the genera Brassica and Sinapis belonging to the family Brassicaceae.
- So, the correct answer is 'Mustard'
A graminaceous spikelet is surrounded by
-
Two scales called glumes
-
Two scales called lemma and pale
-
Two scales called lodicules
-
None of the above
In graminaceous spikelet or spikelet inflorescence of Poaceae, there is a pair of sterile glumes at the base of the spikelet. The lower, outer glume is called the first glume and the upper, inner glume is called the second glume. Just above the glumes, spikelets are present which are partly enclosed by glumes. Spikelets are characteristic of the grass family.

Caryopsis is a dry one-seeded fruit in which the ovary wall is united with the seed coat and fused into a single unit. It is a type of simple dry fruit which is monocarpellate (formed from a single carpel), indehiscent (not opening at maturity). The caryopsis is commonly called grain and caryopsis fruit is characteristic of family Poaceae.
Stem is culm in
-
Bamboo
-
Grass
-
Both A and B
-

A culm is the areal jointed stem (above ground) of grass or bamboo. Typically, the culms are hollow but some species of bamboo have solid culms. In members of Poaceae family, the stem is underground rhizome in all perennial grasses, cylindrical, culm with conspicuous nodes and internodes, internodes hollow, herbaceous or woody, glabrous or glaucous, vegetative shoots are arising from the base of aerial stem or from underground stems.

7. Stipulate leaves
8. Pinnate compound leaves
9. Root Nodules
10. Foliaceous stipules
-
10
-
6
-
7
-
4
All of the above characters are seen in the pea plant in the vegetative stage
In flowering plants, the male gametes are formed by.
-
Generative cell
-
Uninucleate microspore
-
Vegetative cell
-
Pollen tube
Stamens of Jowar$/$ Grass are
-
Dorsifixed
-
Versatile
-
Basifixed
-
Adnate
Stamens of Jowar/Grass are versatile. It implies that their filaments are attached to anther at a point on the connective. Due to this, the anthers can swing freely. This type of arrangement is useful because grasses use wind as the pollinating agent. Freely swinging anthers can dehisce and release the pollen grains in the wind, they can be carried to the suitable stigma.
