Monstera deliciosa leathery, glossy, heart-shaped leaves long by broad. Young plants have leaves that are smaller and entire with no lobes or holes, but soon produce lobed and fenestrate leaves as they grow. Although it can grow very tall in nature, it only measures between 2 and 3 metres when grown indoors. The leaves are large (up to 1 m long), heart-shaped and pinnate. The older the plant, the more the leaves are covered with large perforations which earned the name of "swiss cheese plant" in English. Wild seedlings grow towards the darkest area they can grow until they find a tree
1000 Plant Genomes Project based on the expression level (how many mRNA molecules it produces). This means that highly expressed genes get better coverage because there is more sequence to work from. The result, then, is that some important genes may not be reliably detected by the project if they are expressed at a low level yet still have important biochemical functions. Many plant species (especially agriculturally manipulated ones) are known to have undergone large genome-wide changes through duplication of the whole genome. The rice and the wheat genomes, for example, can have 4-6 copies of whole genomes (wheat) whereas animals typically only have
