Question

How many of the following have non-albuminous seeds?
Wheat, Maize, Barley, Castor, Pea, Groundnut
​

Answer 1

Answer:

pea and groundnuts have non albuminous seeds

Answer 2

The correct answer is 2: Pea and Groundnuts have non-albuminous seeds

Mature seeds may be non-albuminous or ex-albuminous. Non-albuminous seeds have no residual endosperm as it is completely consumed during embryo development (e.g pea, groundnut).

Albuminous seeds retain a part of endosperm as it is not completely used up during embryo development (e.g wheat, maize, barley, and castor).

Hence answer is Pea and Groundnuts have non- albuminous seeds.
