Question

Explain Doriventral(Dicotyledonous) leaf and Isobilatral(Monocotyledons) leaf (point wise)

Open in App
Solution

  1. Dorsiventral leaves
    Dorsiventral leaves orient themselves at an angle to the main axis and perpendicular to the direction of sunlight. Most dicots have dorsi-ventral leaves that are net-veined, including most trees, bushes, garden plants and wildflowers.
  2. Isobilateral leaves
    Isobilateral leaves orient themselves parallel to the main axis and parallel to the direction of sunlight. Most monocots possess parallel-veined isobilateral leaves, including grasses and grasslike plants, lilies, irises, amaryllises etc.

Most leaves have certain common features like a covering of an epidermal layer on each surface. The ground tissue that occurs between the two epidermal layers is called mesophyll. Vascular bundles, commonly known as veins, are embedded in the mesophyll. The structure and characteristics of each of these layers differ greatly for dorsiventral and isobilateral leaves
