Question

describe the development of endosperm in angiosperm​

Answer 1

In angiosperms the endosperm is a special tissue which is formed as a result of vegetative fertilization, triple fusion or fusion of a male gamete with diploid secondary nucleus of the central cell. ... Depending upon the mode of its formation, angiospermic endosperm is of three types— nuclear, cellular and helobial.

Answer 2

ENDOSPERM DEVELOPMENT IN ANGIOSPERMS

1.Endosperm develops from the triploid primary endospermic nucleus (PEN).

2.The PEN divides and redivides by mitosis to form a tissue called endosperm.

3.Endosperm grows faster than the embryo and gets surrounded around the embryo.

4.In some plants, endosperm is completed utilized by the developing embryo and as a result there is no endosperm in the mature seeds. This type of seed without endosperm is called non endospermic (exalbuminous). Example: Ground nut, Pea.

5.In some plants, endosperm is partially utilized by the developing embryo and as a result there is endosperm in the mature seeds. This type of seed with endosperm is called endospermic (albuminous). Example: Maize, Castor.
