Bibliography
A detailed list of references cited in scientific publications, research studies, or taxonomic works.
Abstract
A concise summary of a taxonomic publication, research study, or scientific paper.
Guides
Comprehensive resources aiding in identifying, classifying, and understanding organisms based on taxonomic characteristics.
Stem Modifications
Structural variations of plant stems including underground, above ground/sub aerial, and aerial structures.
Leaf Morphology
Encompasses features like leaf arrangement, venation patterns, shapes, apices, bases, and margins.
Seed Structure
Internal structure of seeds including the seed coat, endosperm, and embryo, distinguishing monocotyledonous from dicotyledonous characteristics.
Seed
A basic part of any plant, consisting of a seed coat and an embryo, which develops from fertilized ovules.
Monocotyledonous Seed
A type of seed with a single cotyledon, thin and small cotyledons, and present endosperm storing food for the embryo.
Dicotyledonous Seed
A type of seed with two distinct cotyledons, fleshy cotyledons storing food, and reduced or absent endosperm.
Radicle
The part of the seed embryo that emerges first during germination and leads to root formation.
Cotyledon
The embryonic leaf in a seed providing nutrients and protection to the embryo, with one in monocots and two in dicots.
Tap Root
A type of root system with a main root growing vertically and lateral roots arising from it, common in dicots.
Fibrous Root
A root system closer to the soil surface, forming a dense network of roots, typical in monocots.
Root Cap
The protective structure at the root tip, continuously replaced to safeguard meristematic cells.
Apical Meristem
Region of actively dividing cells behind the root cap responsible for root growth.
Vascular Cylinder
Central part of the root containing xylem and phloem for water and nutrient transport in plants.
Complete Flowers
Flowers that possess all four main parts - sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils.
Perfect Flowers
Flowers containing both male (stamens) and female (pistils) reproductive parts.
Dioecy
Plant characteristic where individual plants produce either male or female flowers on separate plants.
Spike
Type of inflorescence with unbranched flowers directly attached to the stem.
