Study Notes
Crop Emergence & Development
- Learning Objectives:
- Distinguish between monocot and dicot embryos
- Describe differences between monocots and dicots
- List and describe two dicot germination types
- Identify two monocot internode elongation types
Key Terms and Concepts
- Aleirone layer: Protein-rich layer surrounding endosperm
- Bran: Outer layers of the cereal grain (pericarp, testa, and aleurone)
- Caryopsis: Cereal grain (a fruit)
- Coleoptile: Sheath protecting the plumule
- Coleorhiza: Sheath protecting the radicle
- Cotyledon: Embryonic seed leaf
- Dicot: Plants with two cotyledons
- Embryo: Early stage of plant development
- Embryonic axis: The central column formed by the plumule and radicle
- Endosperm: Food storage tissue in the seed
- Epicotyl: The area of the stem above the cotyledons
- Epigeal germination: Cotyledons are raised above the soil
- Fruit: Structure derived from the ripened ovary wall
- Germ: Embryo of the cereal grain
- Hilum: Scar where the seed was attached to the fruit
- Hypocotyl: Area of stem below the cotyledons
- Hypogeal germination: Cotyledons remain below the soil surface
- Monocot: Plants with one cotyledon
- Mesocarp/Pericarp: Outermost wall of the fruit
- Micropyle: Small hole in the seed coat
- Plumule: Embryonic shoot
- Radicle: Embryonic root
- Scutellum: Specialized cotyledon in monocots
- Seed: Structure containing the embryo
- Testa: Seed coat
Introduction to Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons
- Monocots and dicots are major plant classifications
- The number of cotyledons is the primary difference
- Monocots have one cotyledon (scutellum)
- Dicots have two cotyledons
Monocots (Cereals)
- Cereal grains are members of the Poaceae (grass) family
- The scientific name of the grass family is Poaceae.
The Monocot (Cereal) Embryo
- The embryo includes the plumule, radicle, and scutellum
- The radicle is protected by the coleorhiza
- The plumule has pre-formed leaves and the SAM (shoot apical meristem)
- The coleoptile protects the plumule
- The plumule is phototropic (grows towards light)
- The cotyledon (scutellum) stores food for germination
The Dicot Embryo
- Dicot embryos have a radicle, plumule, and two cotyledons
- The cotyledons are responsible for food storage
- Testa (seed coat) surrounds the embryo
- Hilum is the scar where the seed was attached to the fruit
Germination and Emergence
- Germination involves seedling development
- Radicle emerges first, followed by the coleoptile and plumule
- Seedling depth influences stem internode elongation
- Secondary adventitious roots develop from the coleoptilar node
- Two germination types: hypogeal and epigeal
Hypogeal Germination
- Cotyledons remain below the soil
- Epicotyl emerges from between the cotyledons
- Plumule is protected by the cotyledons
- Only true leaves are above the ground
Epigeal Germination
- Cotyledons are raised above the soil
- Hypocotyl elongates, pulling the cotyledons up
- Plumule is enclosed between the cotyledons until emerging above the soil
