Planting cycad seeds is a rather involved process, requiring several steps. First, the seeds must be pollinated and cleaned. They must also be kept moist until the embryo emerges. Then, the seeds should be planted in a sandy potting soil…
A seed contains an embryonic plant in a resting condition, and germination is its resumption of growth. Seeds will begin to germinate when the soil temperature is in the appropriate range and when water and oxygen are available. However, most…
This article will give you information on the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. It will discuss how these processes are linked to each other, and also describe the points of differences between them. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are…
Plant growth is the process by which the plant grows in size. A matured plant has a strong stem and healthy leaves. The growth process is enhanced by the nutrients and the light energy that is used during photosynthesis. To…
The best way to grow plants from seed varies depending on the type of plant being grown. Most plants are best started indoors with as little root disturbance as possible. Additional requirements, such as seed treatment prior to planting, varies…
The best light for seedlings is an approximation of natural, outdoor sunlight. When available, seedling containers may be placed in the direct sunlight provided by a southern facing window inside the home. This type of light source may be recreated…
dehydration When seeds from the thale cress Arabidopsis thaliana mature, their cell nuclei reduce in size and the chromatin condenses Plant seeds represent a special biological system: They remain in a dormant state with a significantly reduced metabolism and are thus able…
Two processes must take place in order that Prosopis seed can germinate: water imbibition and gaseous exchange. However, various types of inhibition caused by seed envelopes, i.e., impermeability to water, impermeability to oxygen, mechanical barrier to radicle protusion, etc., can result in dormancy…
A seedling is young plant saprophytes developing out of plant embryo from a seed up to one metre of height and the term seedling production is the production of seedlings for a certain purpose, especially plantation. The scope of seedling…
Seeds are to be tested before use or sowing in the beds or fields as the success or failure of artificial regeneration work depends on the quality of seeds. When the treatment is given before sowing in the field, it…
