Example Sentences:

(10) Notable features of the nucleotide sequence are the loss of an intron in rpoC1 and an insertion of approximately 450 bp in rpoC2 compared to the dicotyledons tobacco, spinach and liverwort.
(11) In basic chitinases from dicotyledonous plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Phaseolis vulgaris (bean), Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco), and Solanum tuberosum (potato), as well as in the chitinase isolated from the monocotyledonous plant Hordeum vulgare (barley), this position is invariably occupied by a tyrosine.
(12) Ferrochelatase was demonstrated in the chloroplasts and proplastids isolated from the primary leaves of beans (a dicotyledon) and oats (a monocotyledon).
