Monocotyledons:

  • Embryos have a single seed leaf, referred to as a cotyledon - hence the name mono (one) cotyledon
  • Leaves have parallel venation and are generally strap-like in appearance
  • Flowers have petals and floral parts in multiples of three
  • In the stem, vascular bundles are scattered and absence of vascular cambium explains absence of secondary growth
  • A pollen grain with one opening
  • Root system is generally fibrous, shallow and adventitious
  • Stomata can be found on both epidermal layers of monocot leaves. This condition is called amphistomatic
  • Examples of monocot plants are: (grasses) most ornamental turf lawns, (bamboo's) ornamental and wild bamboo's inlcuding sugar cane, (grain plants) rye, rice, wheat, maize (bulbous plants) such as lilies, agapanthus, clivia, orchid varieties, most palm tree varieties

Dicotyledons:

  • Embryos have two seed leaves, referred to as cotyledons - hence the name di (two) cotyledon - although dicots now known as eudicots, most people still use the term "dicot"
  • Leaves have branched venation
  • Flowers have petals and floral parts in multiples of four or five
  • In the stem, the vascular tissue is arranged circularly and presence of vascular cambium explains ability to effect secondary growth
  • A pollen grain with three openings
  • Root system is generally branched, but taproot based
  • Stomata can only be found in the lower epidermis. So, we describe it as hypostomatic condition
  • Examples of dicot plants include: (veg) tomatos, peppers, cabbage, beans, peas, (flowers) sunflowers, roses, daisies, violets, petunia, pansy (fruit) apples, pears, cherries, avocardo

YAAR ANKITA U R NOT UNDERSTANDING WAT I M ASKING I WANT TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MONOCOT SEED AND DICOT SEED  ????????

  • 0

sry for d inappropriate answer dear,,anyhow m giving it now u may checkk it ok 

Phenotypically a monocot seed has embryo with one cotyledon (Scutellum), and a dicot with two cotyledones. Also a monocot seed has plenty of endosperm where as in dicot seeds the endosperm is used up by the developing embryo in most of the cases.

Aside from dicots having two seed leaves and monocots having one seed leaf, the seeds of monocots have one 'hole' in them and dicots have three 'holes' in them

An example of a monocot seed is Maize (Zea mays) and a common dicot the beaneeds.

 
thnxx,,,,hope now u r satisfied

Hi,

 

Monocotyledons − having one cotyledon in their seeds
  • Flowers are trimerous
  • Arrangement of leaf vein is parallel
  • Vascular bundles are scattered in the stem
Dicotyledons − having two cotyledons in their seeds
  • Tetramerous or pentamerous flowers
  • Arrangement of leaf vein is reticulate
  • Vascular bundles are present in concentric circles
Hope this answers your query,

Cheers !!
