“Sandersonia aurantiaca is a liliaceous monocotyledon with a bell-shaped corolla formed from fused petals and sepals.”

“One of these determinables is number of cotyledons under which fall the determinates acotyledon, monocotyledon, and dicotyledon.”

“However, it should be kept in mind that young leaves of dicotyledons are more heterogenous as to cell age, than sections of a monocotyledon leaf.”

“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.”

“For herbaceous dicots and small woody shrubs we have used the same phenology as that for monocots.”

“Many proteins with similar properties have since been isolated from tobacco and other plant species, both dicots and monocots.”

“Ray's plant classification system was the first to divide flowering plants into monocots and dicots.”
