The 26 pages that link to Endosperm, each with the reason it gives.

• Seed germinationRelated: In cereal grains, weakening or digestion of this tissue frees reserves for embryo growth.

• OvuleRelated: Double fertilization establishes this nutritive tissue inside the developing seed.

• ApomixisRelated: Apomictic embryos may form without fertilization even when endosperm development still depends on pollen.

• BarleyRelated: Barley’s endosperm stores starch that enzymes release during germination and malting.

• CotyledonRelated: In many seeds, cotyledons absorb nutrients from the endosperm and pass them to the embryo.

• CaryopsisRelated: It makes up most of the edible mass inside many cereal caryopses.

• Durum wheatRelated: Most semolina comes from the starchy endosperm of the durum kernel.

• Fertilization in plantsRelated: In flowering plants, a second fertilization event produces this embryo-supporting tissue.

• CoconutRelated: Coconut water and meat are liquid and solid forms of its endosperm.

• SeedlingRelated: Its stored nutrients can support early seedling growth.

• PhytelephasRelated: The hard material carved as tagua is the mature endosperm of the seed.
