Plant Anatomy Endosperm. One of the characteristic differences between monocot and dicot plants can be seen in the structure of their seeds. Germ - The germ embryo makes up about 2 of the weight of a paddy rice kernel and has the ability to sprout into a.
If a cell wall is formed it will form after free-nuclear division. Monocot seeds produce one cotyledon seed leaf which stores the digestive enzymes used to release nutrients from endosperm after the seed germinates begins to grow. In nuclear endosperm formation repeated free-nuclear divisions take place.
After epigeous germination the testa and endosperm of onions.
Tracheids in conifers and vessel elements in flowering plants. Such seeds are known as non-endospermic seeds. Seed and Seedling Structure Growth Tissues Meristems Root Structure Stem Structure Leaf Structure Flower Structure Seed coat or testa protects the seed from the environment Cotyledons contain the endosperm a nutritive tissue that accumulates starch protein and fats to provide for the growth of the embryo Epicotyl in most plants develop into the leaves Hypocotyl develops into the stem Radicle first. Monocot seeds produce one cotyledon seed leaf which stores the digestive enzymes used to release nutrients from endosperm after the seed germinates begins to grow.
