INTRODUCTION A seed is a fertilized ovule that contains an embryo and transforms it into a new plant through the process of germination. Seeds remain inactive until conditions are right for germination. All seeds need water‚ oxygen‚ and proper temperature in order to germinate. However‚ some seeds require full light or darkness to germinate. According to Holm (1996) seeds have chemical inhibitors that prevent germination. A seed will not grow unless those inhibitors are destroyed by things like
Premium Germination Seed Embryo
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
