		Monocotyledons or monocots are one of two major groups of flowering plants (angiosperms) that are traditionally recognized, Dicotyledons or dicots being the other.
		The name monocotyledons is derived from the traditional botanical name Monocotyledones, which derives from the fact that most members of this group have one cotyledon, or embryonic leaf, in their seeds.
		The monocotyledons are famous as a group that is extremely stable in its outer borders (it is a well-defined, coherent group), while in its internal taxonomy is extremely unstable (historically no two authoritative systems have agreed with each other on how the monocotyledons are related to each other).

		A monocotyledon (monocot) is a plant with only one cotyledon, or the first leaf or leaves emerging from a flowering plant embryo.
		Grasses are the most notable monocotyledon group, and though looking perhaps rather primitive, are in fact highly evolved for wind pollination.
		The Orchids on the other hand have gone the other way and become insect pollination specialists and as a group are considered to be florally the most advanced as their flowers have been changed from the original design the most.

	Dicotyledon - New World Encyclopedia
		Dicotyledons or "dicots" comprise a traditional, major group of flowering plants (angiosperms) whose members typically have two cotyledons, or embryonic leaves, in their seeds, and whose flowers generally have parts in fours or fives, or multiplies thereof.
		Flowering plants that are not dicotyledons are designated as monocotyledons, a flowering plant group whose seed typically contains one cotyledon, and whose flower parts are generally in threes or multiples of threes.
		It is generally accepted that monocotyledons evolved from within the dicotyledons, and as such the latter form a paraphyletic group (one is which the group contains its most recent common ancestor, but does not contain all the descendants of that ancestor; in this case, it does not include the monocots).

		The Monocotyledons or monocots are an extremely important group of flowering plants, dominating great parts of the earth and with many economically important plants.
		As the monocots are a group above the rank of family there is a free choice of name; Article 16 of the ICBN allows either a descriptive name or a name based on a generic name.

		It was concluded that the liliopsida were a monophyletic group for the character state of monocotyledon while the magnoliopsida and the eudicots comprised a monophyletic group for the character state of dicotyledon.
		In this analysis the presence of monocotyledons, dicotyledons, polycotyledons, and the absence of cotyledons were examined.
		Whether or not monocotyledons is the primitive character state or dicotyledons is the primitive character state, cannot be determined by the cladogram generated.

	Title of Invention: Rice chitinase promoter
		In accordance with the present invention, we have isolated and characterized a monocotyledon chitinase gene and its associated regulatory sequences.
		Monocotyledons are presently preferred because the invention monocotyledon promoter is expected to be functional in nearly all monocotyledons, whereas dicotyledon promoters have frequently been non-operative when used in monocotyledon hosts.
		In the invention method for inducing gene expression in monocotyledon (and dicotyledon) plants, plant material containing DNA constructs under the expression control of invention monocotyledon regulatory sequences is subjected to conditions which induce transcription of the DNA construct.

	Monocotyledons
		The Monocotyledons are named (John Ray, 1703) for the single leaf or cotyledon produced from a sprouting seed.
		Common although not invariable features among Monocotyledons are an irregular distribution of vascular bundles across the stem, leaves with parallel veins, flowers with parts in multiples of three and adventitious roots.
		The succulent Monocotyledons are an important group of plants and bulbs including the Aloe, Agave, Amaryllis, Pineapple, Dragon Blood Tree, Bluebell, Orchid and Yam families.

		Our investigation of the putative monocotyledonous fossils revealed that the fossil record of monocotyledons, particularly during the Cretaceous, is sparse and generally preserved poorly which should be responsible for the difficulties of recognizing and discriminating these monocotyledons remains.
		The earliest unequivocal evidence of monocotyledons in fossil record is the occurrence of triuridaceous flowers which are very significant for the origin and divergence of monocotyledons.
		In the case of monocotyledons, the ancestral characters of habit and carpel fusion are equivocal, but it is possible for the apocarpy to be derived feature in monocotyledons or apocarpy in monocotyledons represented a reversal from syncarpy.

		The typical species of plantain (Plantago, Family Plantaginaceae) is a stemless annual with leaves arranged alternately in a basal rosette, from the center of which arises an erect spike of nonshowy, wind-pollinated flowers.
		For a dicotyledon, the leaves are highly unusual in having several prominent longitudinal major veins, much as one would find in a monocotyledon.
		Plants of the plantain family should not be confused with the large, starchy bananas (Musa X paradisica, a monocotyledon in Family Musaceae), which are often also called plantains.

		Before this Linnæus had pointed out that only the natural system should be the aim of botanical classification, and published, outside of his artificial system, fragments of a natural system as early as 1738.
		Antoine-Laurent gave to the three main groups of the original classification of his uncle the names of Acotyledon, Monocotyledon, and Dicotyledon, and divided them into fifteen classes, containing in all one hundred families.
		A most important fact is that he sought out and clearly defined the characteristics of families, largely indeed in later treatises.
