It contains an immature plant and everything it needs to sprout in a new location‚ become established‚ and eventually grow into an adult plant. Without seeds‚ forests would not be able to regenerate. Forests are important because they provide many ecological services such as clean air and clean water‚ and they provide us with a lot of valuable

Studying the intraspecific competition in water crest plants Introduction: Aim: To investigate how intraspecific competition affects the growth of Nasturtium officinale given an equal amount of water‚ nutrients and sunlight provided.

Theory: Intraspecific competition occurs when members
Premium Germination Plant morphology Seed
INTRODUCTION A seed is a fertilized ovule that contains an embryo and transforms it into a new plant through the process of germination. Seeds remain inactive until conditions are right for germination. All seeds need water‚ oxygen‚ and proper temperature in order to germinate. However‚ some seeds require full light or darkness to germinate. According to Holm (1996) seeds have chemical inhibitors that prevent germination. A seed will not grow unless those inhibitors are destroyed by things like
