#flower development
- Anthogenesis — The biological process of formation, development, and evolution of flowers during a plant's life cycle; a branch of plant morphology that studies the ontogenetic stages of floral organs, from the primordium stage in the bud to full anthesis and the formation of reproductive structures.
- Antholysis — A biological phenomenon or morphological anomaly consisting of the premature opening, structural transformation, or regressive degradation of a flower's components. In a physiological sense, it represents a pathological or experimentally induced process through which floral elements (petals, sepals) lose their natural symmetrical organization or undergo early cellular resorption, affecting the plant's normal reproductive cycle.
