Question

Non-albuminous seeds are present in:

• A. Wheat
• B. Maize
• C. Castor
• D. Pea

Answer 1

The correct option is D Pea

Albuminous seeds are endospermic seeds, endosperm persists in the mature seed and acts as a food storage tissue. Seeds, which store food materials in their endosperm are called endospermic or albuminous seeds. (e.g., castor, maize, wheat, barley, grasses, rice).

Seeds, which store food materials in their cotyledons are called non- endospermic or exalbuminous seeds.(e.g., gram, pea, bean, almond, groundnut, mustard, sunflower).

So, the correct answer is option C.
