  2. Cotyledon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotyledon

    Cotyledon from a Judas-tree (Cercis siliquastrum, a dicot) seedling Comparison of a monocot and dicot sprouting. The visible part of the monocot plant (left) is actually the first true leaf produced from the meristem; the cotyledon itself remains within the seed Schematic of epigeal vs hypogeal germination Peanut seeds split in half, showing the embryos with cotyledons and primordial root Two ...

  3. Seedling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedling

    The seedlings of some flowering plants have no cotyledons at all. These are said to be acotyledons. The plumule is the part of a seed embryo that develops into the shoot bearing the first true leaves of a plant. In most seeds, for example the sunflower, the plumule is a small conical structure without any leaf structure. Growth of the plumule ...

  4. Hypocotyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocotyl

    As the plant embryo grows at germination, it sends out a shoot called a radicle that becomes the primary root, and then penetrates down into the soil.After emergence of the radicle, the hypocotyl emerges and lifts the growing tip (usually including the seed coat) above the ground, bearing the embryonic leaves (called cotyledons), and the plumule that gives rise to the first true leaves.

  5. Germination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germination

    A seed pot used in horticulture for sowing and taking plant cuttings and growing plugs Germination glass (glass sprouter jar) with a plastic sieve-lid Brassica campestris germinating seeds Time-lapse video of mung bean seeds germinating. Germination is usually the growth of a plant contained within a seed resulting in the formation of the seedling.

  6. Epicotyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicotyl

    The epicotyl will expand and form the point of attachment of the shoot apex and leaf primordia or "first true leaves". Cotyledons may remain belowground or be pushed up aboveground with the growing stem depending on the plant species in question. In plant physiology, the epicotyl is the embryonic shoot above the cotyledons. In most plants the ...

  7. Radicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicle

    Seed of Scouler's willow (Salix scouleriana) In botany , the radicle is the first part of a seedling (a growing plant embryo ) to emerge from the seed during the process of germination . [ 1 ] The radicle is the embryonic root of the plant, and grows downward in the soil (the shoot emerges from the plumule ).

    In the month of May, also, I incubated two seed plants, Faba and Phaseolus, after removing the two seed leaves, or cotyledons Marcello Malpighi (1679), p. 18 [ 54 ] In this experiment, Malpighi also showed that the cotyledons were critical to the development of the plant, proof that Ray required for his theory.
