Almost all flowering plants fall into one of two categories: the monocots or the dicots. The names "monocot" and "dicot" come from the term cotyledon.

Scientist Matt Humphry of the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research and his team identified a set of genes regulated by a common protein that has been conserved in the genome of monocot and ...

It features live footage with superimposed terms like seed coat, embryo, monocotyledon, and dicotyledon, and discusses the conditions necessary for seed germination.

Monocots and dicots use different metabolism pathways. In the case of selective weed killers, the herbicide greatly increases the amount of a hormone called auxin in plants.

Epicentre Biotechnologies’ new QuickExtract™ Seed DNA Extraction Solution facilitates the extraction of PCR-ready DNA from a wide variety of seeds, both monocot and dicot.

Dicot plants are typically plants with broad leaves. Trees, most weeds, shrubs and annual flowers fall into this category. These chemicals will not kill monocot plants. Monocot plant examples are ...

Dicots have two seed leaves or cotyledons and monocots have one. The two halves of a kidney bean are known as seed leaves, the first “leaves” to show themselves when the seed germinates.
