Monocotyledons (/ˌmɒnəˌkɒtəˈliːdən, -ˌkɒtˈliː-/), more properly referred to as monocots, (Lilianae sensu Chase & Reveal) are flowering plants (angiosperms) whose seeds typically contain only one embryonic leaf, or cotyledon. They constitute one of the major groups into which the flowering plants have traditionally been divided, the rest of the flowering plants having two cotyledons and therefore classified as dicotyledons, or dicots. However, molecular phylogenetic research has shown that while the monocots form a monophyletic group or clade (comprising all the descendants of a common ancestor), the dicots do not. Monocots have almost always been recognized as a group, but with various taxonomic ranks and under several different names. The APG III system of 2009 recognises a clade called "monocots" but does not assign it to a taxonomic rank.
The monocots include about 60,000 species. The largest family in this group (and in the flowering plants as a whole) by number of species are the orchids (family Orchidaceae), with more than 20,000 species. About half as many species belong to the true grasses (Poaceae), who are economically the most important family of monocots. In agriculture the majority of the biomass produced comes from monocots. These include not only major grains (rice, wheat, maize, etc.), but also forage grasses, sugar cane, and the bamboos. Other economically important monocot crops include various palms (Arecaceae), bananas (Musaceae), gingers and their relatives, turmeric and cardamom (Zingiberaceae) and the onions and garlic family (Amaryllidaceae). Additionally most of the horticultural bulbs, plants cultivated for their blooms, are monocots, such as lilies, daffodils, irises, amaryllis, cannas, bluebells and tulips.
Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (Amrita University) is a private university in India,spread across South India in the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The university headquarters are at Ettimadai, approximately twenty-two kilometers from Coimbatore City.
In 2011, Nobel laureate Leland H. Hartwell joined Amrita University as an Adjunct faculty member. The university offers bachelors, masters, and doctoral degree programs in computer science, engineering, business, biotechnology, nanotechnology, ayurveda, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, social work, communication, education, and basic sciences. Areas of specialization, such as medical informatics, computational engineering, cyber security, clinical research and oncology, have been designed in keeping with the National Development Plans of India. 18,000 students are enrolled in nearly one-hundred degree programs.
The Chancellor of the university is Mata Amritanandamayi, also known as Amma or, simply, "Mother". The Vice-Chancellor of the university is P. Venkat Rangan, a notable Indian computer scientist, who founded the Multimedia Labs at the University of California, San Diego. The Amrita Alumni Association, or "A3", is an umbrella association for alumni of Amrita University.

It is really easy to determine a monocot and a dicot. However, first, it is important to understand that monocots and dicots actually represent the two main branches of flowering plants. That means that almost all flowering plants can be divided into one of these two groups. Of course, the key word is almost all. There are some that don't fit into the two groups all that well. The five main characters I like to use are Leaves, Roots, Stems, Cotyledons, and Flowers.

According to this classification, flowering plants were divided onto eight major groups, the largest number of species belonging to monocots and ...

In monocot stems, the xylem and phloem are paired in bundles, with bundles dispersed throughout the stem.Monocot stems have scattered vascular bundles. Dicot stems have their vascular bundles in a ring arrangement.
Monocots vs. Dicots . , . . . . Differences between monocots and dicots; Each dicot flowers on the other hand, tend to have here are some more compilation of topics and latest discussions relates to this video, which we found thorough the internet. Hope this information will helpful to get idea in brief about this. Angiosperms or flowering plants are the most successful and diversified groups of plants. The angiosperms consists of about ,, species of herbs, shrubs, traditionally, the flowering plants have been divided into two major groups, major morphological differences between monocots and dicots; Each character is below information will help you to get some more though about the subject what's the difference between dicot and monocot? flowering plants are divided into monoc...
Dubay explains the key characteristic that defines Angiosperms or flowering plants and proceeds to distinguish between the two major classes of this group the monocots and dicots.
This video gives brief explanation of the internal structure of monocot stem (zeamays) . monocot stem is bounded by an epidermis. Epidermis is impregnated with a fatty substance known as cutin. In monocote stem there is no clear demarcation between cortex and pith. In monocot stem vascular bundles are collateral, and closed.

Clashes of thoughts, of desires and hopes
lift you up, straight to the top of the world
It's amazing how good things can be when it goes, when it flows
With fluidity of energy in constant availability
All that glitters all that matters beyond rivalries
Amplified universality, transcending dualities
Body chemistry, linked spiritually
Right in time every time, synchronized all along
Destiny, tomorrow is today
Destiny, without boundaries
How many nights will we spend together traveling infinity back and forth and again
How many times will we go together questioning eternity about us about our wonders...
Step in, break through, take the stairs to the stars
Stretch out your life, make it big, make it large
Feed the space in-between, fill it up, make it real
Hell you feel you're alive, you affirm your own will
It's been good all along and the best is to come
No fear, no doubt but the driving force to go on
Air's dry, we're wet, ain't seen nothing yet
Silence cried as we met, dig, dig our own depth
Destiny without boundaries
How many nights will we spend together traveling infinity back and forth and again
How many times will we go together questioning eternity about us about our wonders
How many nights will we spend together traveling infinity back and forth and again
