Today, there are over 350 thousand species of plants. Of them to the class of Monocots have about 60,000 species. This class includes the two most common on-site habitat and economic importance of families:
More info take a look at the Cereal.
Place in the organic world this family is the following:
- the Plant Kingdom.
- Podtsarstvo Multicellular.
- the Class of Monocots.
Cereal.
All members of this family unite in 900 genera. The total number of representatives about 11,000 species. Plants of the family Gramineae Dating as meadow and cultural, with important agricultural value.
Cereal is a very extensive habitat because of its simplicity, moisture and drought resistance (not all species). Therefore, we can say that they cover almost all the land masses, except Antarctica and ice-covered areas.
This immediately makes it clear that plants of the family Gramineae are very unpretentious to the growing conditions. So, for example, representatives of meadow grasses (Timothy, meadow grass, couch grass, hedgehog, fire and others) quietly tolerate adverse conditions of winter and heat of summer.
The Cultural plants (rye, oats, wheat, rice) are already more demanding, however, they can survive quite a large amplitude of air temperature fluctuations.
To sunlight are equally neutral, almost all representatives, which includes Cereal. Representatives of meadows, steppes, pampas, savanna - accustomed to the harsh conditions of the plants and cultivated species subjected to constant care and handling by humans, so also feel comfortable during low-light conditions.

Cereal includes both annual and biennial and most perennial plants. Externally, they are generally similar because they have similar structure of the stem and leaves. The stem also has a clear distinctive features from the stems of other plants - it is absolutely empty inside and is a hollow tube, which was called straw.
A Large number of members of the family due to their importance in economic terms: some plants are fed to livestock, the other for processing and receipt of grain and starch, and others on the production of the protein, and the fourth for decorative purposes.
The External (morphological) characteristics of the family Gramineae can be described in several paragraphs.
These signs have all the representatives that make up the Cereal.
In flowering plants of this family is quite undistinguished, as prone to self-pollination or cross-pollination. Therefore, forming huge bright and fragrant flowers to them makes no sense. Their flowers are small, pale, completely nondescript. Gather in inflorescences of different types:
The Flowers all the same, the formula of the flower of the Grass family as follows: ЦЧ2+ PL2+T3+P1. Where TSCH - floral scales, PL - film, T - stamen, F - pistil.
The Formula of the flower of the Grass family gives a clear picture of nevzracnica these plants in the flowering period, and then use for decorative purposes are not flowers, but the leaves and stems.
After flowering is formed rich in protein and starch of the fruit. It is the same in all members, belonging to the family Gramineae. The fruit is called caryopsis. Indeed, the majority of people who are far from biology, you know the term "cereals", and it is associated with seeds of agricultural plants called grains.
However, not only crop plants of the Grass family have the fruit, but also of the meadow. Grain rich in vitamins, gluten, protein, starch.
As mentioned above, there are about 11,000 plants that make up the Cereal. Their representatives are found among the wild and cultivated species of plants.
Wild predstaviteli:
Most members of the wild Grasses are inhabitants of steppes, meadows, forests, and savannas.
Cultivated plants that form the Cereal, fruit form under the influence of different environmental conditions. That is why, toto the grain of decent quality, many of the representatives of Grass turned into a home culture, which is needs care. These include:
The cultivated plants are of great economic importance for fodder across the country.
Annual plants are those that the entire life cycle take a single growing season. That is, all basic life processes - growth, bloom, reproduction and death - are laid in one season.
One annual plant of the family Gramineae to give an example of difficult. There are actually quite a lot. Consider some of the most common and commercial value.
Most of the plants of the family are perennial. That is, their life cycle consists of several seasons (growing seasons). They are able to survive the unfavorable conditions of winter periods without loss of viability. Many of them form the family of Cereals. Characteristic of such plants is very extensive. Consider some of the most important in economic terms of representatives.
To agricultural cultivated plants of this family include, in addition to the above, another sorghum. This plant has all the hallmarks of the family of Grasses, and also has a valuable grain. In our country, sorghum is not grown, as it is very heat-loving plant. However, in Africa, Australia, South America this is a very valuable commercial crop.
Sorghum Grain is ground into flour, and part of the stem and leaves go to feed livestock. In addition, from the leaves and stalks are used to make furniture, weave a beautiful interior.
Barley can also be attributed to important agricultural crops. This plant does not require special conditions for growing, so easily cultivated in the territories of many countries. The main value of the grain goes to the brewery, getting a pearl barley and barley grains, and also goes to animal feed.
Also extracts of barley are of great importance in folk and traditional medicine (means from diseases of the liver and gastrointestinal tract).
Why is it so important and widely applicable grain of the representatives constituting the Cereal? The characteristics of the composition of the grain will help to understand it.
First, all Cereal grains contain protein, just the number of representatives varies. The highest protein content of gluten are wheat.
Second, the Cereal grains contain starch, and hence have sufficientnutritional value and capable of forming flour.
Thirdly, such a culture, such as rice, contain many vitamins of different groups, making it even more useful.
It is Obvious that the full use of herbs provides the body with the set of all daily required nutrients. That's why they are so popular in all countries of the world.
