What is the function of hypocotyl? The hypocotyl extends the radicle into the soil which will later form the roots. In epigeal germination, the extension of the hypocotyl pushes the cotyledons and epicotyl above the surface of the soil. What is difference between epicotyl and hypocotyl? The mai...
The embryo, variously located in the seed, may be very small (as in buttercups) or may fill the seed almost completely (as in roses and plants of the mustard family). It consists of a root part, or radicle, a prospective shoot (plumule or epicotyl), one or more cotyledons (one or...
Seed, the characteristic reproductive body of both angiosperms and gymnosperms. Essentially, a seed consists of a miniature undeveloped plant (the embryo), which, alone or in the company of stored food, is surrounded by a protective coat. Learn more abou
As the first root or radicle emerges from the seed, many root hairs form to ensure that the young seedling has adequate water to continue growing in an early stage of establishment. Root hairs also help anchor the young seed into the soil until more extensive roots are established. ...
the radicle, is the first indication of germination as it breaks out of the seed. Flowering plants are classified as monocotyledons or dicotyledons (most are now calledeudicots) based on the number of cotyledons produced in the embryo. Common monocotyledons include grasses, sedges, lilies, irises...
Peptidases have a central role in the degradation of proteins by hydrolyzing peptide bonds. Based on the reaction catalyzed, these enzymes can be classified as endopeptidases, aminopeptidases or carboxypeptidases. Relative to the endoproteases and carbox

In a recentnews release, Texas-based ingredient producer Applied Food Sciences (AFS) introduced its MycoThrive Lion’s Mane organic extract. The company also announced the significance results of a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study that tested the effects ...
Radicle elongation decreased sharply with increased salinity and pH, and was significantly inhibited when pH >= 9.0, indicating that the radicles are very sensitive to salt alkaline stress. The deleterious effects of salinity or high pH alone were less than when combined. A reciprocal enhancement ...
