The anatomy of a mature dicot leaf generally reflects the habitat, especially the availability of water. |
The absence of a diurnal rhythm would be a significant difference between growth control in roots and dicot leaves. |
Non-dicot species are included in the study for comparison with dicot phytoliths to determine at what level dicot phytoliths are taxonomically useful. |
I then turn to herbaceous dicot species, whose aerial stems essentially lack significant quantities of wood. |
Most of the hydromorphic and xeromorphic modifications found among dicot leaves, however, also occur in monocot leaves in similar environments. |
The ACCases of grasses are sensitive to these herbicides, whereas the ACCases of dicot plants are not. |
