| Two or three genes encode sucrose synthase isozymes in monocot species such as maize, barley, wheat, and rice. |
|
| Generally, well-preserved remains of monocot leaves are rare in the fossil record. |
|
| Recent reviews report that Si accumulation is, in general, higher in monocot than in non-monocot species. |
|
| Increasing evidence obtained from transgenic experiments suggests that there are differences in regulation of gene expression between monocot and dicot species. |
|
| Most of the hydromorphic and xeromorphic modifications found among dicot leaves, however, also occur in monocot leaves in similar environments. |
|
| A monocot leaf grows either radially or along the margins, but not both in the same region. |
|
| In other structural respects, monocot roots are essentially similar to those of dicots. |
|
| Potamogeton pectinatus is an aquatic monocot that overwinters as small tubers in the beds of lakes and rivers where oxygen supply can be severely limited or extinguished. |
|
| Evolution of dimery, pentamery and the monocarpellary condition in the monocot family Stemonaceae. |
|
| Palms, as monocot plants, develop an abundant and fibrous root system, but they lack a main, pivotal and permanent root, and neither do their roots thicken with time. |
