Which of the following are components of a mature non-albuminous seed?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
(a) A mature non-albuminous angiospermic seed typically consists of the embryo axis (C), cotyledons (D), and the seed coat (E). Cotyledons are often thick and store food reserves. While endosperm (B) may be present in albuminous seeds, it is completely consumed in non-albuminous seeds and is not a universal component. The perisperm (A) is a residual tissue found in only some seeds, such as black pepper and beet, and is not typically a component of all angiosperm seeds.
