Question

Write a note on the development of endosperm. Mention the types with examples.
​

Answer 1

NOTE:-

Endosperm is formed from the primary endosperm nucleus. Its formation starts before the formation of embryo. Primary endosperm nucleus is produced by fusion of monoploid polar nuclei (secondary nucleus) and a monoploid second male gamete. The endosperm is thus triploid (3n).

TYPES:-

Three main types of endosperm development in flowering plants are: (i) Nuclear type (ii) Cellular type and (iii) Helobial type! The formation of endosperm is initiated by mitotic divisions of the primary endosperm nucleus (3N). The formation of endosperm occurs usually prior to the zygotic division

EXAMPLES:-

For example, wheat endosperm is ground into flour for bread (the rest of the grain is included as well in whole wheat flour), while barley endosperm is the main source of sugars for beer production. Other examples of endosperm that forms the bulk of the edible portion are coconut "meat" and coconut "water", and corn
