Nutritive tissue near the embryo of the seed; develops from a fusion of polar nuclei and sperm nucleus.
The triploid tissue formed by fusion of pollen nuclei and the polar bodies. Nutritive tissue to supply developing embryo.
nutritive tissue that surrounds and nourishes the developing embryo of seed plants
the largest part of any cereal grain that contains mainly starch and some vegetable protein
Monocot plants store food in a part of the seed called the endosperm.
The food storage tissue of cereal grains. It contains starch.
nutritive tissue that surrounds the embryo in most flowering plants. Is retained inmature seeds of most monocots such as cereal grains.
the female tissue that encloses the seed within the angiosperms.
Triploid tissue in a seed, formed from fusion of two haploid female and one haploid male nucleus.
The substance surrounding the embryo of a seed ; albumin.
nutritive tissue formed within the embryo sac of seed plants
Gr. endon: within + sperma: seed] • A specialized triploid seed tissue found only in angiosperms; contains stored food for the developing embryo.
The substance within a seed that nourishes a plant embryo. The part of the wheat kernel that provides gluten.
A nutritive tissue, characteristic of flowering plants, which nourishes the embryo In most plants it is a transient tissue absorbed by the embryo before maturity whereas in cereals and grasses it contains storage reserves in the mature grain and is not absorbed until after germination. (see also coenocytic, cytoplasmic and syncytial endosperm).
a portion of a seed which contains most of the energy reserves for germination
nutritive tissue surrounding the embryo within seeds of flowering plants
Triploid tissue of monocots that arises from the triple fusion of a sperm nuclei with the polar nuclei of the embryo sac. In seeds of certain species, the endosperm persists as a storage tissue and is used by the seedling during germination for growth. It is composed mostly of starch cells
Nutritive, usually triploid, seed storage tissue arising from the fusion of sperm and polar nuclei in angiosperm double fertilization.
EN-do-sperm A triploid tissue that nourishes the embryo in a seed. 568
That portion of a seed that contains reserve foods.
the triploid (N=3) product of double fertilization in angiosperms; during seed maturation the endosperm will develop into a storage tissue that will provide nutrients to the seedling as it emerges (in monocots) or that will be digested and stored by the cotyledons before germination (in dicots)
nutritive tissue formed within the seed to feed the developing embryo.
storage tissue other than cotyledons in many seeds, formed by fertilization of central cell
A part of a seed. The reservoir of food energy which fuels the initial growth of a germinating seed.
the substance of the wheat seed that nourishes the embryo and contains primarily protein and starch. When mixed with a liquid it is called gluten.
A nutrient-rich tissue formed by union of a sperm cell with two polar nuclei during double fertilization, which provides nourishment to the developing embryo in angiosperm seeds.
The nutritive tissue in seeds that provides food for the developing embryo
The nonliving part of the barley grain, which contains starch and protein to feed the growing acrospire.
A food storage tissue that provides nutrients to the developing embryo in angiosperms; formed from the triploid cell produced when a sperm cell fertilizes the central cell. Some endosperm is solid (as in corn), some is liquid (as in coconut). PICTURE
The area of starch and protein storage in the kernel.
The nutritive portion of a seed.
Food storage tissue, triploid (3n), result of fertilization.During seed maturation the endosperm will develop into a storage tissue that will provide nutrients to the seedling as it emerges (in monocots) or that will be digested and stored by the cotyledons before germination (in dicots)
The food storage tissue within a seed
(EN-doh-sperm) -- The carbohydrates, usually stored in seed, lacking in orchid seed.
nutritive tissue in a seed, in angiosperms triploid and formed in the embryo sac after fertilisation, in gymnosperms haploid and derived from the sterile portion of the female gametophyte. cf. perisperm.
In plants a triploid tissue containing stored food, develops from the union of a sperm nucleus and two nuclei of the central cell of the female gametophyte. Found only in angiosperms.
The nutritive tissue surrounding the embryo of some types of seed. Parent Term: Seed Child Terms: Ruminate_endosperm Difficulty Level
The nutritive tissues of the ripened ovary, consisting of the aleurone layer and the starchy endosperm. It serves as food for the germinating embryo; triploid in chromosome number.
The largest of the three main components of the corn kernel [endosperm, bran, and germ] and which contains most of the starch and protein.
The starchy middle of a cereal grain that serves as the nutrientional reserve for the seed. It is the source of fermentable material for brewing. The endosperm of barley is hard and is described as "steely" in its original or unmodified state.
The nutritive tissue of a seed, consisting of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
Food reserve tissue in seed derived from fertilized polar nuclei; or food reserve derived from megametophyte in gymnosperms.
triploid (containing three sets of chromosomes) nourishing tissue in the seeds of angiosperms.
A food storage organ that surrounds the embryo inside a seed that nourishes the seedling during germination.
The tissue, serving as food storage, that surrounds an angiosperm embryo in the seed. The rice and wheat grains that we eat consist mostly of endosperm.
Endosperm is the tissue produced in the seeds of most flowering plants around the time of fertilization. It surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, though it can also contain oils and protein.
