	Daylily Dictionary: Cotyledon
		Flowering plants, called angiosperms, have embryos within their seeds that form one or two cotyledons, also often referred to as "seed leaves".
		Those with one cotyledon are known as monocotyledons or monocots.
		When seeds germinate, the cotyledon/s may remain below the soil surface (known as "hypogeous" germination), or emerge above it (known as "epigeous" germination), depending on the type of plant.

	cotyledon
		Structure in the embryo of a seed plant that may form a leaf’; after germination and is commonly known as a seed leaf.
		The number of cotyledons present in an embryo is an important character in the classification of flowering plants (angiosperms).
		In seeds that also contain endosperm (nutritive tissue), the cotyledons are thin, but where they are the primary food-storing tissue, as in peas and beans, they may be quite large.

		Gymnosperm seedlings also have cotyledons, and these are often variable in number (multicotyledonous), with from 2 to 24 cotyledons forming a whorl at the top of the hypocotyl (the embryonic stem) surrounding the plumule.
		Cotyledons may be either epigeal, expanding on the germination of the seed, throwing off the seed shell and become photosynthetic above the ground; or hypogeal, not expanding, remaining below ground and not becoming photosynthetic.
		The latter is typically the case where the cotyledons act as a storage organ, as in many nuts and acorns.

		Histology of somatic embryo-producing regions of cotyledons confirmed that the induction of the development process was embryogenic and not organogenic in nature.
		In the present study, cotyledons were used to obtain a high frequency of somatic embryogenesis, and cotyledons from mature seeds are a convenient, accessible and efficient explant for somatic embryogenesis in groundnut.

		when the seed germinates, the cotyledon remains below ground absorbing nutrients from the endosperm which is the starchy food supply in the seed.
		Dicot seeds contain 2 cotyledons, these structures absorb and store the nutrients from the endosperm before the seed germinates.
		The cotyledons emerge above the ground and transports nutrients, and for a short time serve as photosynthetic leaves, but die when the true leaves emerge.
