A seed consists essentially of a seed coat‚ stored food and a young plant‚ the embryo. The seed coat may be made of inner tegmen and outer testa. On the seed coat a scar (hilum) is present which shows the place of attachment of a seed in the fruit is present. At one end of the hilum is the micropyle. Through micropyle the seed absorbs water during the process of germination. The embryo consists of epicotyl‚one or two seed leaves called cotyledons‚ and a hypocotyle. The portion of the embryo above

2. SEED SAMPLING RL. AGRA w.4.L Seed sampling is aimed at obtaining a sample of the required size and consisting of the same components as the whole lot of seeds. The quantity of seed tested in the laboratory is small‚ compared with the size of the seed lot which it is intended to represent. No matter how accurately the laboratory work is done‚ the results can only show the quality of the sample submitted for analysis. Consequently. every effort must be made to ensure that the sample sent to

time that a seed germinates‚ and whether or not it actually does germinate‚ depends on many factors. These factors include; the chemical environment‚ which must be the right conditions; oxygen must be present‚ and inhibitory chemicals must not be present. Germination also depends on the physical environment. Temperatures must be suited to the seed‚ and light quality and quantity must also be suited to the needs of the seed. In some cases‚ all these conditions are met‚ and still‚ the seed fails to germinate

Seed Germination Some people‚ when they think of germination‚ think of a seed sprouting. Very plain‚ simple image in their mind‚ especially since there is so much more going on in the small seed. New Life is growing. Germination is the sprouting of a seed‚ through which a lot of plants reproduce‚ though not all. Water is a major trigger in the germination stage‚ playing a major role also later in the plant’s life. Though seeds are not the only way for plants to reproduce‚ it is one of the easiest

Sofia Dominguez 10-O 19/03/14 Effect of pH on germination of seeds: Design Practical Introduction: The term pH stands for Hydrogen Potential it is used to determine the acidity of a substance. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. The values that are smaller than 7 indicate the range of acidity. Higher pH values are alkaline and a pH of 7 is neutral. Acidity is a function of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+)‚ or protons. The strength of alkaline solutions is measured by the concentration of hydroxide

FRUITS‚ SEEDS AND THE FUTURE JEANETTE JOHNSON A fruit results from the maturation of one or more flowers. The ovule producing part of the flower forms all or part of the fruit. Inside the ovary/ovaries are one or more small eggs‚ where the embryo sac contains the egg cell. When the female embryo sac joins with two male sperm these ovules become seeds. (Biology Online‚ 2005) Each fruit is made of certain acids‚ vitamins‚ fructose

The Effects of a Seed Coat in Seed Germination Mario Monroe INT1 Task 3 The Effects of a Seed Coat in Seed Germination Abstract Seed germination is an important aspect in plants growth and food production. It is therefore it’s of uttermost importance to know the effective ways of seed germination so as to improve food production. This research was therefore prompted by the rising issue of farmers buying low quality and a damaged maize seed from unscrupulous sellers and this has led to deterioration

they do it? Well there are multiple ways that this process occurs. All of which differentiate who or what helps the plant spread its seeds. Plants spread their seeds through wind‚ water‚ & animals. A perfect example of how wind disperses seeds of plants is the dandelion. Dandelions have parachute or umbrella like hairs‚ also known as pappus‚ above the one seed in the plant. Any sliver of wind can take these plants airborne for surprisingly long distances. There is also the birdcage plant which

Germination in plants is the process in which dormant seed begins to grow and sprout under certain growing conditions. The English pea‚ also known as the garden pea‚ is a member of the legume family and is known to grow roughly three to four inches long. Research shows that it only takes approximately 1 week for the seed to start to germinate. There are many things that can affect‚ the growth of the pea seed such as; temperature‚ moisture‚ planting depth and sunlight. The pea grows best in temperatures
