| The broad differences between halophytic monocotyledons and dicotyledons have been attributed to differences in water content and hence vacuolar volume. |
| Jussieu classifies plants on the basis of cotyledons, and divides all plants into acotyledons, monocotyledons, and dicotyledons. |
| However, it should be kept in mind that young leaves of dicotyledons are more heterogenous as to cell age, than sections of a monocotyledon leaf. |
| Genetic analysis of lateral organ formation during embryogenesis has been restricted to a few model dicotyledons. |
| Lipid transfer proteins are small, basic proteins that have been purified from both monocotyledons and dicotyledons. |
| The Crassulaceae, or orpine family, is a family of dicotyledons. |
