(Top) In a corn seed (monocot), nutrients are stored in the cotyledon and endosperm tissue. The radicle and hypocotyl (region between the cotyledon and radicle) give rise to the roots. The epicotyl (region above the cotyledon) gives rise to the stem and leaves and is covered by a protective sheath (coleoptile).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. An epicotyl is important for the beginning stages of a plant’s life. It is the region of a seedling stem above the stalks of the seed leaves of an embryo plant. It grows rapidly, showing hypogeal germination, and extends the stem above the soil surface.

The hypocotyl (short for “hypocotyledonous stem”, meaning “below seed leaf”) is the stem of a germinating seedling, found below the cotyledons (seed leaves) and above the radicle (root).

is that hypocotyl is (botany) in plants with seeds, that portion of the embryo or seedling between the root and cotyledons while radicle is (botany) the rudimentary shoot of a plant which supports the cotyledons in the seed, and from which the root is developed downward; the root of the embryo.

The hypocotyl refers to the part of the stem of an embryo plant beneath the stalks of the seed leaves or cotyledons and directly above the root. The plumule is the tip of the epicotyl which gives rise to the shoot of the new plant.

What is the Difference Between Epicotyl and Plumule? Epicotyl is the part of the seedling that lies above the cotyledons while plumule is the tip of epicotyl which gives rise to the first true leaves of a plant.

In dicots, the hypocotyls extend above ground, giving rise to the stem of the plant. Upon exposure to light, the hypocotyl hook straightens out, the young foliage leaves face the sun and expand, and the epicotyl continues to elongate.

If the hypocotyl is extended, the cotyledons are carried out of the soil. If the epicotyl elongates, the cotyledons remain in the soil. Light affects both the orientation of the seedling and its form.

Slinkard is the Prairies’ best-known pulse crop breeder, tester, developer and propagandist. He came to the Prairies in 1972, when peas were almost unknown and beans, chickpeas, lentils and spices were crops that grew in other places.

Pulses are known as the poor man’s meat because they are rich in nutrition and low in cost. Therefore, most low income populations can use this nutritious crop as their staple food.

Soy is the queen of pulses thanks to its many nutritional qualities.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) or lucerne is the most important forage legume worldwide and frequently called the ‘Queen of forages’ due to its wide adaptation, high yield, and high quality.
