Monocots and dicots. Those are words most of us haven't heard since high school biology days, if we even heard them at all. But now, a walk through the spring woods will thrust a common monocot ...

Any plant that has a single leaf at germination is called a monocot. In contrast, dicotyledonous plants - dicots for short - have a pair of leaves at germination before the adult leaves begin ...

The researchers first identified and cloned sequences of monocot B. distachyon's NPR genes-BdNPR1, 2, and 3-which were similar to the NPR sequences of other dicot species, including Arabidopsis.

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 ...

In addition to this route, several gene regulatory switches that regulate nitrate absorption and root development, such as the micro-RNA, miR444, are known in monocot plants, such as rice.
