Double fertilization results in the formation of one diploid embryo and a triploid endosperm. Double fertilization is characterized by the formation of two embryos; the embryo proper which is diploid and the fusion product of the central cell with one male gamete which is triploid. This secondary triploid zygote develops into the endosperm.
