Question

Are the endosperm persistent in cereals?

Open in App
Solution

Yes, endosperm is persistent in cereals. It is persistent as storage tissue, and it is available as the nutritious part of cereals that we eat. This may contain starch, proteins and even some oils. For eg. the wheat flour that we use to make bread or chapatti/roti is nothing but the endosperm part of the wheat grain.
