What does INTINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
The inner wall of a pollen grain or spore, made of thin, flexible material beneath the tougher outer coat.
A pollen grain is protected by two distinct layers, and intine names the softer inner one, built mainly of cellulose and pectin, in contrast to the tough, sculpted outer wall called the exine. Because the exine resists decay so well, it fossilises readily and lets palynologists study ancient pollen, while the more fragile intine rarely survives that long. During germination, a pollen tube grows out through the intine at a weak point, allowing the grain to deliver its genetic material to the plant it lands on. Botanists studying pollen structure describe the intine mainly to explain how a grain germinates rather than how it is identified.
How INTINE is used
