Non-albuminous seeds are seeds in which the endosperm is completely consumed by the developing embryo. Examples of non-albuminous seeds include peas, beans.
Albuminous seeds are seeds in which the endosperm is partially or completely retained by the mature seed. Examples of albuminous seeds include wheat, rice, and corn.
Perisperm develops from the nucellus and surrounds the embryo in some seeds. The perisperm is typically consumed by the developing embryo, but it may be retained in some mature seeds.
Pericarp is the fruit wall. It is typically composed of three layers: the exocarp (outer layer), mesocarp (middle layer), and endocarp (inner layer).
