GERMINATION
GERMINATION is when a ROOT and a iSHOOT begin to grow out from the SEED .This is the beginning of a new plant !!
SEEDS have different parts : SEED COAT (which covers the seed) and the HILUM (where the seeds was attached to the mother plant)
After germination, the first root emerges (RADICLE), the seedcoat softens and splits and the COTYLEDONS (or seed leaveswhich contain food for the new seedling) begin to expand.
SEEDS
CONDITIONS NEEDED FOR SEED GERMINATION
SEEDS remain dormant or inactive until CONDITIONS are RIGHT for GERMINATION.
All SEEDS need WATER OXYGEN and proper TEMPERATURE in order to GERMINATE.
Some SEEDS require proper LIGHT also.SOME germinate better in FULL LIGHT while others require DARKNESS to germinate.
