DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Beans and mustard are examples of dicotyledonous plants. The dicotyledons, also known as dicots, are one of the two groups of flowering plants or angiosperms. The name refers to one of the characteristics of the group, namely that the seed has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pulses are dicots such as lupins, clover, lentils, pinto beans, kidney beans, soybeans, chickpeas and more.

Detailed explanation-3: -A dicot seed primarily consists of two basic parts-seed coat and embryo. The surface of the seed may be smooth or wrinkled. An outer seed coat ‘ tegmen’ and an inner seed coat ‘testa’ covers the seed coat. Testa is leathery, thick, and tough while tegmen is thin, fragile, conspicuous, and papery.

Detailed explanation-4: -Green beans, anasazi beans, navy beans, black beans, northern beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and cannellini beans are all varieties of the species. Some varieties of the common bean are grown only for the dry seeds, some only for the edible immature pods, and others for the seeds, either immature or mature.
