  2. Plant embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_embryonic_development

    Plant embryonic development, also plant embryogenesis, is a process that occurs after the fertilization of an ovule to produce a fully developed plant embryo. This is a pertinent stage in the plant life cycle that is followed by dormancy and germination . [ 1 ]

  3. Dicotyledon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicotyledon

    The dicotyledons, also known as dicots (or, more rarely, dicotyls), [2] are one of the two groups into which all the flowering plants (angiosperms) were formerly divided. The name refers to one of the typical characteristics of the group: namely, that the seed has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons. There are around 200,000 species within this ...

  4. Somatic embryogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_embryogenesis

    Somatic embryogenesis is an artificial process in which a plant or embryo is derived from a single somatic cell. [1] Somatic embryos are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in the development of embryos, i.e. ordinary plant tissue. No endosperm or seed coat is formed around a somatic embryo.

  5. Seed - Wikipedia

    This classification is based on three characteristics: embryo morphology, amount of endosperm and the position of the embryo relative to the endosperm.

  6. Monocotyledon reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocotyledon_reproduction

    Reproducing through seeds is the most widespread method of reproduction in both monocots and dicots. However, internal seed structure is vastly different between these groups. The cotyledon is the embryonic leaf within a seed; monocots have one whereas dicots have two. The evolution of having one or two cotyledons may have arisen 200-150 Mya ...

  7. Seedling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedling

    Monocot (left) and dicot (right) Seedling of a Scots pine Grass seedlings (150-minute time lapse) A seedling is a young sporophyte developing out of a plant embryo from a seed. Seedling development starts with germination of the seed.

  8. Plant development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

    From that point, it begins to divide to form a plant embryo through the process of embryogenesis. As this happens, the resulting cells will organize so that one end becomes the first root while the other end forms the tip of the shoot. In seed plants, the embryo will develop one or more "seed leaves" . By the end of embryogenesis, the young ...

  9. Radicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicle

    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). Above the radicle is the embryonic stem or hypocotyl, supporting the cotyledon(s). [2]
