Albuminous seed

Japanese: albuminous seed(英語表記)albuminousseed
Albuminous seed

…The nucellus usually disappears or becomes membranous, but it can grow by storing nutrients and become a perisperm, as in Swiss chard. Seeds that store nutrients in the endosperm or exosperm are called albuminous seeds. Even if nutrients are temporarily stored in the endosperm or exosperm, as the seed matures, the nutrients are gradually absorbed into the embryo, and by the time the seed is fully ripe, the embryo often fills the inside of the seed. …

From [Endosperm]

…As seeds mature, the nutrients stored in the endosperm are absorbed by the embryo, and some nutrients are stored in the cotyledons, which are part of the embryo. These are called exalbuminous seeds, and are found in chestnuts, beans, sunflowers, etc. On the other hand, seeds in which nutrients are stored in the endosperm or perisperm are called albuminous seeds. …
