Non-albuminous seeds (e.g., pea, groundnut) completely consume the endosperm during development, while albuminous seeds (e.g., wheat, castor) retain some endosperm.
Non-albuminous seeds (e.g., pea, groundnut) completely consume the endosperm during development, while albuminous seeds (e.g., wheat, castor) retain some endosperm.
| Text | Nonalbuminous 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, castor). |
