| Helobial endosperm | A type of endosperm in which two unequal cells develop differently, the larger one in a noncellular manner (see nuclear endosperm) and the smaller one in various ways. | |
| Nuclear endosperm | Endosperm development in which many nuclei develop before cell walls are formed. | |
