1 Rice is a short-day (SD) monocot, whereas cucumber is a mid-day (MD) dicotyledon.

2 Orchidaceae is one of the largest families of monocot plants. China is very affluent in orchid resources. China is one of its most important centers of diversity.

3 Orchidaceae is one of the largest families of monocot plants.

4 These phenomena are quite similar to the model system of seed germination presented by dicot plants, suggesting that this model may be conserved in both dicot and monocot plants.

5 Plant lectins have the longest scientific history among all plant protein, covering several protein families, one of which is monocot mannose binding lectins.

6 More importantly, rice is a staple food crop worldwide , also an important model monocot plant.

7 Rice is not only a staple crop worldwide, but also an important model monocot plant, and moreover, it is one of the most Al-resistant crops.

8 However, very little genetic and molecular evidence is available to demonstrate their role in host defense response of rice and other economically important monocot plants.

9 The host plants of this insect include 389 species(varieties) in 109 families, and are composed of ferns plants, gymnospermae, dicotyledons and monocot crops.

10 This gene encodes a polypeptide of 211 amino-acid residues and belongs to a subgroup of the rice WRKY gene family that probably originated after the divergence of monocot and dicot plants.

11 Although many genes regulating root hair development have been isolated in Arabidopsis, knowledge of molecular mechanism of root hair development in monocot cereal crops is largely unclear.

12 Rice (Oryza sativa L. ) is an important model monocot and cereal crop.

13 A plantlet had been obtained. Histological sections proved that the embryos had a typical histological structure of monocot somatic embryos.

14 The greenhouse results showed that it is excellent herbicide both to monocot and dicot weeds.
