These genes have been studied extensively in dicots like soybean and Arabidopsis.

The EDS1 proteins play important roles in plant basal resistance and TIR-NB-LRR protein-triggered resistance in dicots.

Distinct expression patterns among gene family members were observed between monocots and dicots and during chilling stress.

The work also raises questions about the evolutionary changes in this protein family following the divergence of monocots and dicots.

Significantly, examination of the protein content in the seeds of crop plants shows a distinct difference between monocots and dicots.

Phylogenetic analysis revealed distinct differences of oleosin in patterns of gene duplication and loss between high-oil dicots and low-oil grasses.

We also describe the effects of Si on cell wall-related processes by discussing the published results in both monocots and dicots.

This study enables further investigation of whether KANADI-like Myb genes are involved in leaf polarity modeling in monocots, as they are in dicots.
