Endosperm

From Palaeos

Jump to: navigation, search

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).
