Extine Definition

Extine Sentence Examples

• They increase in size and acquire a cell-wall, which becomes differentiated into an outer cuticular layer, or extine, and an inner layer, or intine.

• The extine is a firm membrane, which defines the figure of the pollen-grain, and gives colour to it.
