The list goes on... and on... AND ON, but here are some major (and seemingly obvious) points.

Poaceae is mostly (if not exclusively) wind pollinated, Asteraceae is not. Because they are abiotically pollinated, members of Poaceae lack "showy" flowers. Instead, they are highly reduced versions of the reproductive structures. They have no "typical" calyx (they have lodicules instead), they lack a corolla and they are very small. Dissimilarly, Asteraceae are biotically pollinated by a variety of animals and therefore require showy, attractive flowers. The inflorescence of Asteraceae is bourne on an involucrate head (many flowers on one receptacle). Poaceae are usually found in Spike, panicle or raceme type inflorescences. Poaceae = superior gynoecium, Asteraceae = inferior gynoecium. Poaceae = caryopsis, Asteraceae = achene. Hope this helps you out!
