Anatomy and Morphology of Plants
The mature seeds of plants such as gram and peas, possess no endosperm, because
Non- albuminous seed is produced in
Albuminous seeds are the seeds which have food stored in the special nourishing tissue called as endosperm that remains persistent till maturity. Cotyledons only act as food sucking organs and not food storage organs
e.g. Castor seed.
Non albuminous seeds are the seeds which have the stored food and the cotyledons in a special structure called as kernel. It does not remain until the embryo is mature.
e.g. Pea seed.
So, the correct answer is 'Pea'.
The mature seeds of plants such as gram and peas, possess no endosperm, because
Endosperm, a product of double fertilisation in angiosperms is absent in the seeds of
