    1. The experiment aims to identify the different parts of a dicot seed embryo using pea, gram, or kidney bean seeds. 2. After soaking and removing the seed coat, the gram seed is observed to have two cotyledons and an embryonic axis with a radicle and plumule. 3. On germination, the radicle emerges first followed by the plumule to form the root and shoot systems.

    AIM To identify the different parts of an embrvo of a dicot seed (pea, gram or re
    Ridney bean).

    Theory
    After pollination, the pollen grains reach the ovary where fusion of male and female gametes (haploid)
    place. This process is called fertilisation. As a result of fertilisation, a zygote (diploid) is formed
    The zygote divides several times to form an embryo in the ovule. Manychanges further take place that
    lead to an ovule turning i n t o a seed and the ovary turning into a fruit in which the seed is protected.
    oase note that the seeds of gymnosperms are not protected inside a fruit.)
    seed, therefore, is a fertilised ovule. It contains a seed coat, an embryo (the future plant) and cotyledon
    food stored for the embryo). Plants of monocots (such as maize and grass) bear single cotyledon and
    those of dicots (such as pea, gram and red kidney bean)
    bear two cotyledons. The seed coat is impermeable and seed coat-
    the embryo is dormant. This helps a seed to tide over
    unfavourable seasons. Under appropriate conditions, the embryo
    plumule
    seed develops into a seedling. This process is known as cotyledon
    radicle
    germination. The embryonic tip nat grows to form the
    shoot system of the plant is known as the plumule and
    the embryonic tip that grows to form the root system of
    the plant is called the radicle.

    Materials Required
    Gram seeds, beaker, cotton cloth, water, wet cloth, and a pair of forceps

    Procedure
    1. Take some gram seeds and soak them overnight in a beaker containing water.
    2. Drain off the water and wipe the seeds with the help of a cotton cloth.
    Leave the wiped seeds on a wet cloth for a day. Ensure that they do not dry up.
    4The seeds will become soft. Open a seed carefully with the help of your thumbs (or you can also
    use a
    pair of forceps).

    we can see two cotyledons the

    Conclusion
    1. The gram seed has two cotyledons.
    of the gram seed has a plumule and a radicle. On germination, the radicle emeros
    erges
    2. The embryo
    first, followed by the plumule.

    Precautions
    1. Choose healthy seeds.
    2. Ensure that the seeds are completely immersed in water.
    3. Make sure that the cloth is damp so that the seeds do not dry up.
    Remove the seed coat and open the cotyledons with utmost care ensuring that the embryonal axis
    4
    does not get detached from the cotyledons.
