Study Notes
Seed Structure and Development
- The embryo is the part of a seed responsible for converting into a new plant when planted.
Monocot and Dicot Seeds
- Monocot seeds have only one cotyledon.
- Dicot seeds have two cotyledons.
Endosperm Function
- The function of endosperm in a seed is to provide nutrition to the developing embryo.
Types of Mature Seeds
- There are two types of mature seeds based on the presence of endosperm: albuminous seeds (with endosperm) and exalbuminous seeds (without endosperm).
Embryo Components
- An embryo in a seed consists of three main components: radicle (primary root), hypocotyl (stem), and cotyledon(s) (seed leaves).
