  2. Germination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germination

    Germination of seedlings raised from seeds of eucalyptus after three days of sowing. In agriculture and gardening, the germination rate describes how many seeds of a particular plant species, variety or seedlot are likely to germinate over a given period. It is a measure of germination time course and is usually expressed as a percentage, e.g ...

  4. Plant embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_embryonic_development

    Plant embryonic development, also plant embryogenesis, is a process that occurs after the fertilization of an ovule to produce a fully developed plant embryo.This is a pertinent stage in the plant life cycle that is followed by dormancy and germination. [1]

  5. Seed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed

    The germination percentage is simply the proportion of seeds that germinate from all seeds subject to the right conditions for growth. The germination rate is the length of time it takes for the seeds to germinate. Germination percentages and rates are affected by seed viability, dormancy and environmental effects that impact on the seed and ...

  6. Seedling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedling

    In most seeds, for example the sunflower, the plumule is a small conical structure without any leaf structure. Growth of the plumule does not occur until the cotyledons have grown above ground. This is epigeal germination. However, in seeds such as the broad bean, a leaf structure is visible on the plumule in the seed. These seeds develop by ...

  7. Ecological facilitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_facilitation

    For example, seed germination and survival in harsh environments is often higher under so-called nurse plants than on open ground. [1] [3] A nurse plant is one with an established canopy, beneath which germination and survival are more likely due to increased shade, soil moisture, and nutrients. Thus, the relationship between seedlings and ...

  8. Epigeal germination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigeal_germination

    Epigeal vs. hypogeal germination. Epigeal germination (Ancient Greek ἐπίγαιος [epígaios] 'above ground', from ἐπί [epí] 'on' and γῆ [gê] 'earth, ground') is a botanical term indicating that the germination of a plant takes place above the ground. An example of a plant with epigeal germination is the common bean (Phaseolus ...

  9. Vivipary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivipary

    In some trees, like jackfruit, some citrus, and avocado, the seeds can be found already germinated while the fruit goes overripe; strictly speaking this condition cannot be described as vivipary [citation needed], but the moist and humid conditions provided by the fruit mimic a wet soil that encourages germination. However, the seeds also can ...
