Seed structure and histochemistry in the palm Euterpe edulis

The Euterpe edulis embryo consists of a prominent single cotyledon, a very short radicle-hypocotyl axis and an epicotyl. The epicotyl is obliquely angled with respect to the cotyledon; consequently it corresponds to one of the two categories recognized for palm seeds by DeMason (1988). Parenchyma, p...

The endosperm consists of living cells with very large nuclei and thickened cell walls.
