process by which a plant grows from a seed. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. However the growth of a sporeling from a spore‚ for example the growth of hyphae from fungal spores‚ is also germination. In a more general sense‚ germination can be simply anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ‚ a method that is commonly used by many seed germination projects. Seed germination depends on both internal

In agriculture and gardening‚ hybrid seed is seed produced by cross-pollinated plants. In hybrid seed production‚ the crosses are specific and controlled. The advantage of growing hybrid seed compared to inbred lines comes from heterosis. To produce hybrid seed‚ elite inbred varieties are crossed with well-documented and consistent phenotypes (such as yield) and the resulting hybrid seed is collected. Another factor that is important in hybrid seed production is the combining ability of the parent

Fatty acid composition of oil extracted from raw white sesame seeds and their changes during different heat treatments: Fatty acid composition of the oil extracted from raw white sesame seeds (RWS) is shown in Table (4): The most abundantly found fatty acids were 18:2 (linoleic acid) being 45.68%‚ followed by 18:1 (oleic acid) 35.83%. Other fatty acids were found in considerable amount are 16:0 (Palmitic acid) 9.15% and 18:0 (stearic acid) 6.90% for RWS. The results obtained are in agreement

Meert 1 Putting the Right Seed in the Right Ground Each and every year‚ farmers throughout the country have to go through the decision of what he or she is going to plant in their field so that he or she can grow the most successful crop possible. In that decision is what crop her or she is going to plant as well as what hybrid seed variety is going to grow the best in that field. The seed is the most important part of farming. Without the seed a farmer has nothing at all which leads to zero yield and zero profit
