Plural of aleuron; multiple protein granules or protein-storing structures found in plant cells, particularly in seeds and grains.
The plural form of 'aleuron,' an alternative spelling of 'aleurone.' Both forms derive from Greek 'aleuron' meaning flour or fine meal.
Under a microscope, aleurons look like tiny jewels packed inside grain cells—they're literally Nature's way of storing concentrated protein to fuel a seed's growth into a mighty plant!
