This tissue is generated when two polar nuclei fuse with (*) one of the sperm nuclei from pollen, in a process of double fertilization.
The nkd1 and nkd2 genes are named for the fact that mutations in them cause the outermost layer of this tissue to not develop. A sample of this tissue found in barley is used in an assay for gibberellins. Cotyledonous organisms do not retain this tissue beyond maturity of the organ in which it is stored. This tissue is generated when two polar nuclei fuse with (*) one of the sperm nuclei from pollen, in a process of double fertilization. Amylase from the outer aleurone layer of this tissue digests the starchy portion of this tissue in cereal grains. For 10 points, name this triploid tissue that nourishes the growing embryo inside a seed.
