The Scutellum is part of the structure of a barley and rice [1] seed—the modified seed leaf. The scutellum (from the Latin scutella meaning "small shield") can also refer to the equivalence of a thin cotyledon in monocots (especially members of the grass family ).
The cotyledon of grasses and many other monocotyledons is a highly modified leaf composed of a scutellum and a coleoptile. The scutellum is a tissue within the seed that is specialized to absorb stored food from the adjacent endosperm. The coleoptile is a protective cap that covers the plumule (precursor to the stem and leaves of the plant).
Scutellum may refer to: Scutellum (insect anatomy), a term used in the anatomy of arthropods; Scutellum (botany), a term used in the morphology of grasses;
The scutellum covers the abdomen and the tarsus is bipartite. [2] [3] ... Lathyrus species) and other leguminous plants, such as alfalfa (Medicago sativa), ...
A plant which completes its life cycle (i.e. germinates, reproduces, and dies) within two years or growing seasons. Biennial plants usually form a basal rosette of leaves in the first year and then flower and fruit in the second year. bifid Forked; cut in two for about half its length. Compare trifid. bifoliate
Phragmites australis is one of the main wetland plant species used for phytoremediation water treatment. Waste water from lavatories and greywater from kitchens is routed to an underground septic tank-like compartment where the solid waste is allowed to settle out.
Scutellaria is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae.They are known commonly as skullcaps. [2] The generic name is derived from the Latin scutella, meaning "a small dish, tray or platter", [3] or "little dish", [4] referring to the shape of the calyx. [4]
A common misconception is that the epicotyl, being closer to the apex of the plant, is the first part to emerge after germination - rather, the hypocotyl, the region of the stem between the point of attachment of the cotyledons and the root - forms a hook during hypogeal germination and pushes out of the soil, allowing the more delicate tissues ...
