Xenia

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The phenomenon where the effect of pollen grains is observed on the endosperm tissue is known as $Xenia$. This occurs because the male gamete fuses with the polar nuclei to form the triploid endosperm,and the genetic contribution of the pollen can influence the characteristics of the endosperm (such as color or texture). $Metaxenia$ refers to the effect of pollen on maternal tissues outside the embryo sac,while $Nemec$ $phenomenon$ refers to the presence of endosperm-like tissue in the embryo sac of certain species.
