Detailed explanation-1: -What is Seed Germination? Seed germination may be defined as the fundamental process by which different plant species grow from a single seed into a plant. This process influences both crop yield and quality. A common example of seed germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm.
Detailed explanation-2: -The process of seed germination includes the following five changes or steps: imbibition, respiration, effect of light on seed germination, mobilization of reserves during seed germination, and role of growth regulators and development of the embryo axis into a seedling.
Detailed explanation-3: -Germination is the process of seeds developing into new plants. First, environmental conditions must trigger the seed to grow. Usually, this is determined by how deep the seed is planted, water availability, and temperature.
Detailed explanation-4: -During the early stages of germination, the seedling uses the food stored inside the seeds for its growth. When the seed receives adequate light, water, air, and warmth, it becomes soft and spongy. The seed coat then breaks and the young plant comes out. The young plant develops roots and shoots.
Detailed explanation-5: -Germination occurs when the embryo, which is dormant within a mature seed, resumes growth upon a return to favorable conditions. The embryo becomes a young seedling that is no longer confined within the seed coat.
