in an abrading step wherein the cotyledons are superficially abraded to eliminate therefrom an amount of matter not less than 2 %, advantageously 4 %, preferably 5 %, and not more than about 40 %, advantageously about 30 %, preferably about 20 % of the total volume of dicotyledons. The...

Any of various flowering plants that are not monocotyledons, having two cotyledons in the seed and usually flower parts in multiples of four or five, leaves with reticulate venation, pollen with three pores, and the capacity for secondary growth. The dicotyledons, which include the eudicotyledons ...
The seeds of C. affinis were obtained from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Victoria, Australia. The seeds of C nivicola and C. pulvinatus were acquired from the Australian National Botanic Gardens, Canberra. The seeds of C. subulatus originated from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, United Kingdom...
Two to many cotyledons occur in different gymnosperms. The angiosperms are divided into two major groups according to number of cotyledons: the monocotyledons and the dicotyledons. Mature gymnosperm seeds contain an endosperm (albumen or nutritive tissue) which surrounds the embryo. In some mature ...
Background: Little is known about the molecular basis of seed size formation in endospermic seed of dicotyledons. The seed of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) is considered as a model system in seed biology studies because of its persistent endosperms throughout seed development. Results: We ...
After 10 min vacuum infiltration at 0.8–0.9 MPa, the transformed seeds were cultivated for 3 days at dark and then transplanted to soil pots. One month later, fully expanded leaves were collected from each plant and subjected to genomic PCR as well as qRT-PCR analysis for positive ...
Cortical cells of the leaves and outer layers of nonwoody stems contain chloroplasts, and are modified for food storage (usually in the form of starch) in roots and the inner layers of stems and seeds. Because of the combination of its soft texture (especially after cooking) and its role ...
