what are some information on seed germination?

Question

anything u guys know like the definition...any valuable information will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Germination is the process where growth emerges from a period of dormancy. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of a flowering plant or gymnosperm. However, the growth of a hypha from a fungal spore is also germination. In a more general sense, germination can imply anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ.

Seed germination
The seed of a higher plant is a small package produced in a flower or cone containing an embryo and stored food reserves. Under favourable conditions, the seed begins to germinate, and the embryonic tissues resume growth, developing towards a seedling. The part of the plant that emerges from the seed first is termed a radicle. In some definitions, the appearance of the radicle marks the end of germination and the beginning of "establishment", a period that ends when the seedling has exhausted the food reserves stored in the seed. These are critical phases in the life of a plant. The mortality between dispersal of seeds and completion of establishment can be so high, that many species survive only by producing huge numbers of seeds.

Some seeds require particular conditions to germinate, such as the heat of a fire (e.g., many Australian native plants), or soaking in a body of water for a long period of time.

The germination index can be used as an indicator of phytotoxicity in soils.

Answer 2

Seeds germinate when they break dormancy and begin to grow. Sometimes it's called "sprouting". Different seeds have different requirements to germinate: usually moisture and the right temperature. Some seeds must be in the light; some need dark. Some must be cold for a while before germinating; some must be in a fire. Some must be eaten by certain animals and pass through the digestive system before they will germinate.

Answer 3

severe ph ranges will impression germination by skill of pickling the seed till now it may strengthen, yet oftentimes germination desires are moisture and lightweight dictated. as quickly as the seeds have germinated and deliver out their first root, the novel, then ph is extremely significant for persevered survival
