Describe the formation of helobial endosperm
Advertisements
उत्तर
Helobial type of endosperm:
a. It is an intermediate between nuclear and cellular type of endosperm.
b. First division of primary endosperm nucleus is followed by (division of cytoplasm) wall formation.
c. The wall formation results in the central cell being divided into a large micropylar and a small chalazal chamber.
d. In both the chambers the development occurs as seen in nuclear type.
e. This type is generally seen in Helobiae series of monocots, hence the name ‘Helobial Endosperm’.
