                     Cellular endosperm is found in 25°/o angiospermic families in which the embryo develops slowly. During cellular type of  endosperm development, the primary endosperm mother cell divides by mitotic divisions and each division is followed by a cell wall formation, eg, Adoxa, Cetranthus, Datura, Impatiens, Magnolia, etc. Nuclear endosperm is more common type of endosperm occurring in about 56% of those angiospermic families in which embryo grows faster. eg, Acer, Arachis, Phoenix, Citrus, Primula, Calotropis, etc.
