- A typical monocot seed has a short axis bearing plumule & a radical. The plumule differentiates to form the shoot while the radical forms the root system.
- The plumule is surrounded by a protective conical-shaped layer called the Coleoptile.
- The radical and root cap is surrounded by the protective undifferentiated sheath called the Coleorhiza.
- Both these sheaths provide protection to the developing root & shoot tips.
- Thus, the undifferentiated sheath which encloses the root cap in a monocot seed is termed as Coleorhizae.
Additional Information
- Calyptogen: It is a region of the root apical meristem that divides to form cap like protective structure, the root cap.
- Calyptra: It is a hood or cap-like structure present on the capsule of the sporophyte of certain mosses. It is formed by the expanded wall & neck of archegonium.
