Definitions
aleurone
NounA layer of protein-rich cells found in seeds, particularly in the outermost layer of the endosperm in cereal grains.
The aleurone layer plays a crucial role in the germination process by releasing enzymes that break down starches into sugars.
Any of the protein granules stored in the cells of seeds, especially within the endosperm or embryo.
During seed maturation, aleurone accumulates as discrete bodies rich in storage proteins.
