“…The great variability in volume and in DNA content of nuclei in the free-nuclear stage may in part be due to amitosis of some of the larger nuclei. Cutter, Wilson, and Freeman (1955) observed amitoses at this stage in the endosperm of Cocos nucifera, as seems to be the case for the Podophyllum material in this study. Such amitoses might account for the presence of some very small nuclei with only a few chromosomes, resulting from unequal fission of a nucleus.…”

The development of the endosperm in Gleditsia is marked by the growth of the average nucleus from 141 ,.3 on June 12 to 978,.3 on July 14. At the time of formation of a cellular endosperm the average nuclear volume commences dropping and by July 20 reaches an average of 224,.3 throughout the endosperm. In Podophyllum at the time of cell formation the average nuclear volume begins to drop from a value of about 2850 ,.3 and falls to a value of from 500 ,.3 tu 770,.3, the latter estimates depending upon the mode of fixation of the material. The volume decrease in the Podophyllum endosperm nucleus is accompanied by a fall in mean relative DNA content of the average nucleus, as determined by microspectrophotumetry with the two wavelength method. The possibility of degeneration of some of the higher "ploid" types is considered, as well as depolyploidization.

“…Scorr (1953) found that endosperm nuclei of Echinocystis macrocarpa frequently divided by amitosis. A common mode of nuclear division in the coconut endosperm during its free nuclear stage has been found to be amitosis rather than mitosis (CuTTER et al 1955). WANG and CHIEN (1957) reported amitosis in the endosperm of cotton.…”

This study is conducted to discover the relationship between the growth ta xanh coconut fruit and lipid accumulation in its endosperm. During the fruit development period, several criteria are determined, such as the fresh and dry weight of the crustal or seed, the amount of glucose, protein and lipid in the liquid and solid endosperm. The growth period of ta xanh coconut fruit is 12 months and is divided into four stages, lasting from fruit set to harvest. Each stage lasts about three months: (1) young fruit stage, (2) the growth fruit stage, (3) the growth solid endosperm stage (coconut meat), (4) the maturation and ripening stage. In particular, the young fruit period is the slow growth period of the fruit, followed by the second stage that is marked by a rapid growth of fruit in crustal and liquid endosperm (coconut milk). At the end of this stage, the liquid endosperm not only reaches the maximum size and weight but also contains the highest level of glucose and starch. During the third stage (7th - 9th month), the volume and content (glucose and starch) of the liquid endosperm remain stable. In this stage, the solid endosperm is formed from the liquid endosperm. The final stage is that of reducing the volume of the liquid endosperm whereas the embryo and solid endosperm grow significantly. Additionally, maximum lipid accumulation occurred in both liquid and solid endosperm.
