== Endosperm development == There are three types of endosperm development: '''Nuclear endosperm development''' β where repeated free-nuclear divisions take place; if a cell wall is formed it will form after free-nuclear divisions. Commonly referred to as liquid endosperm. Coconut water is an example of this. '''Cellular endosperm development''' β where a [[Cell wall|cell-wall]] formation is coincident with nuclear divisions. Coconut meat is cellular endosperm. Acoraceae has cellular endosperm development while other monocots are helobial. '''Helobial endosperm development''' β where a cell wall is laid down between the first two nuclei, after which one half develops endosperm along the cellular pattern and the other half along the nuclear pattern.
