Comparison between dicot leaf and monocot leaf
Dicot leaf | Monocot leaf |
1. Cuticle thick at upper epidermis and thin at lower epidermis | Uniform cuticle on both the surface |
2. Stomata are more on lower surface | Equal number of stomata on either side |
3. Mesophyll is differentiated into palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma | Mesophyll is not differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma |
4. Bulliform cells are absent in the epidermis | Bulliform cells are present in upper epidermis |
