Q. Endosperm completely consumed by the developing embryo before seed maturation in

AMUAMU 2013Morphology of Flowering Plants

Solution:

Endosperm, a result of triple fusion provide nourishment to developing embryo and is stored for further development as reserve food in some seed. Those seed, which store endosperm as reserve food are called as endospermic seed or albuminous seed. While in non-endospermic seed or exaibuminous seed endosperm is consumed by developing embryo and food is stored in cotyledons, e.g., pea, groundnut and bean, gram, etc.
