New Update Factor Affecting Seed Germination

Factor Affecting Seed Germination. https://cststudy.blogspot.com/ Factor Affecting  Seed Germination                            1.Water is required for germination. Mature and roller coaster seeds are often extremely dry and need to take in significant amounts of water, relative to the dry weight of the seed, before cellular metabolism and growth can resume. Most seeds need enough water to moisten the seeds but not enough to soak them. The uptake of water by seeds is called imbibition, which leads to the swelling and the breaking of the seed coat. When seeds are formed, most plants store a food reserve with the seed, such as starch, proteins, or oils. This food reserve provides nourishment to the growing embryo. When the seed imbibes water, hydrolytic enzymes are activated which break down these stored food resources into metabolically useful chemicals. After the seedling emerges from the seed ...

Seed dormancy and its importance. https://cststudy.blogspot.com/                                                Seed Dormancy Definition:   The term dormancy refers to lack of growth in any plant part due to either internally or externally induced factors. Seed technologist use the term of refers to non-germination resulting from conditions within the seeds.  Dormancy is the state of inhibits growth of seeds or other plant organs as a result of internal causes not due to environmental condition. In other word, the unavailability of well developed mature, perfectly viable and healthy seed to germinate when placed under favorable conditions for germination is called dormancy or rest period of seed. Important of seed dormancy:...
