Talk:Endosperm

endosperm location function

There is something incorrect in the entry: aleurone is the outermost layer of the endosperm, and it is not of maternal origin. I think it has been confused with the pericarp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.133.139.161 (talk) 22:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Merging

No strong feelings concerning merging, as such. It looks to me as if both "seed" and "endosperm" could do with additional work, and some additional pictures. I am assuming that adding information will be easier if these are two separate entries, so I would tend to favor not merging, but as a matter of strategy rather than principle.

I would discourage a merge. The seed article will grow too large. Endosperm also has room for growth. David D. (Talk) 19:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

This article refers about specific biological tissue do NOT merge it with article about plant organ (seed), not only that it is different topic, it is different point of view. Why do one would suppose it should be merged? Just only because the one is a part of the later? Then Texas as a part of the USA should be merged in it... No, it should'nt be, I do not mean it really and endosperm should'nt be merged in anything. It deserves it's own entry. Reo On | +++ 02:33, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

"In more derived flowering plants the embryo occupies most of the seed and the endosperm is non developed or consumed before the seed matures."

Explain what is meant by "derived"!!!
