Descriptor hipocótilo
Scope note: Región del tallo que está por debajo de los pedúnculos de las hojas de la semilla (cotiledones) e inmediatamente por encima de la raíz joven del embrión de la planta. Crece rápidamente en la plántula mostrando germinación epigea y levanta a los cotiledones por encima de la superficie del suelo. En esta región (la zona de transición) la distribución de los haces vasculares de la raíz cambia a la del tallo. (Concise Dictionary of Biology, 1990).

Scope note: The region of the stem beneath the stalks of the seed leaves (cotyledons) and directly above the young root of the embryo plant. It grows rapidly in seedlings showing epigeal germination and lifts the cotyledons above the soil surface. In this region (the transition zone) the arrangement of vascular bundles in the root changes to that of the stem. (From Concise Dictionary of Biology, 1990)
