SEED DISPERSAL

Hi everyone, my name is ayu lestari. In this presentation, I will talk to you about the seed dispersal

Types of seed

Classification of seeds based on the number of cotyledons

Monocotyledonous seeds: Seeds having a single cotyledon. Exp: rice, orchid, maize, etc.

Dicotyledonous seeds: Seeds having two cotyledons. Exp: beans, mango, mustard, etc.

Classification of seeds based on the presence of endosperm

Albuminous seed: Seeds in which endosperm is present and provides nutrition during the early
development of the seed. In this type of seed, cotyledons are thin and membranous. Exp: Dicot: castor,
cotton; Monocot: maize, wheat, rice

Exalbuminous seeds: Seeds in which endosperm is absent, and food is stored in fleshy and thick
cotyledons. At an early stage, food stores in endospermic tissue are utilized by the embryo resulting in a
non-endospermic condition in mature seeds. Exp:Dicot: pea, bean, gram, etc.; Monocot: orchid

Functions of Seed

Most flowering plants are reproduced by means of seed.

Seeds contain embryos, and nourishment of the embryo helps them to develop into the new plant.

Seeds disperse by various agents and establish in the new place.

Seed undergoes a dormant state during an unfavorable environment.

Seed helps to keep species in existence.

Okey everyone i think is enough, thank you and see you bye
