| 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. |
| Increasing evidence obtained from transgenic experiments suggests that there are differences in regulation of gene expression between monocot and dicot species. |
| Generally, well-preserved remains of monocot leaves are rare in the fossil record. |
| Two or three genes encode sucrose synthase isozymes in monocot species such as maize, barley, wheat, and rice. |
| Evolution of dimery, pentamery and the monocarpellary condition in the monocot family Stemonaceae. |
