What is physiological dormancy?

Physiological dormancy is a type of seed dormancy where the embryo is underdeveloped and unable to germinate even under suitable conditions. This dormancy is mainly regulated by internal factors within the seed that need to be overcome for germination to occur.


What does the word germination means?

Germination refers to the process by which a seed sprouts and begins to grow into a new plant. It involves the activation of the seed's dormant embryo, leading to the emergence of a root and shoot. Germination typically requires water, oxygen, and appropriate temperature conditions to occur successfully.


Can germination start if the seed was drowned?

No, germination is unlikely to occur if a seed is drowned as the excess water can lead to suffocation, rot, or mold growth, inhibiting the germination process. Seeds require a moist but well-draining environment for successful germination to take place.

Germination.


What is needed for seed germination?

Seed germination requires water, proper temperature, oxygen, and sometimes light. Water helps soften the seed coat and activates enzymes needed for growth. The right temperature is crucial for metabolic processes to occur, while oxygen is essential for cellular respiration. Light can also be a trigger for germination in some plant species.


What happens to a seed after germination?

The contents of a seed are used up after germination by the seedling growing from it.
