Question 40

Seed germination

Answer 40

Seed germination is defined as the sum of events that begin with hydration of the seed and culminate in emergence of the embryonic axis (Keimung)

Question 41

Seed dormancy

Answer 41

Seed dormancy is an evolutionary adaptation that prevents seeds from germinating during unsuitable ecological conditions

Question 42

Seed longevity

Answer 42

Seeds of many plant species are extremely tolerant to harsh environmental conditions provided they are in a state of desiccation. In this dry state, their metabolic activity is drastically reduced to a very low level (quiescence) while retaining their ability to germinate for considerable periods
