Characteristics
A. Non-albuminous seed III. Residual endosperm absent B. Albuminous seed I. Residual endosperm present C. Perisperm IV. Residual nucellus D. Pericarp II. Fruit wall - 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).
