    Seeds contain an embryo, food supply, and seed coat. Germination requires temperature, moisture, air, and sometimes light. The germination process begins with water absorption, activation of seed proteins, and emergence of the radicle root. In monocot seeds, the embryo contains an epicotyle shoot above the cotyledon, hypocotyl below, and radicle root, while dicot seeds have two cotyledons or seed leaves, an epicotyl, hypocotyl stem, and radicle root. Germination of monocots starts with seed swelling, radicle root growth, and upward growth of the epicotyl and first internode, while dicots swell, send down the radicle,

    What are seeds?

    Basic Parts of
    Seeds
    1. Embryo
    2. Food Supply
    3. Ovary wall or
    seed coat

    Germination
    Needed for Germ
    1. Temperature
    2. Moisture
    3. Air
    4. Light or absence of
    it

    Germination
    Process
    1. Seed absorbs water
    2. Seeds proteins
    activated
    3. Radicle (root)
    emerges

    Germination
    4. Plumule or
    embryonic shoot
    emerges
    5. Leaves form and
    food production
    begins

    Monocot Seeds
    1. Seed coatprotection
    2. Endosperm- a
    source of energy
    3. Embryo-miniature
    plant that has

    Monocot Seeds

    3.Embryo:
    Epicotyle-shoot above
    cotyledon
    Hypocotyl-part of stem
    below the cotyledon
    Radicle- primary root,
    supports seedling

    Dicot Seeds

    1. Seed Coatprotection
    2. Embryo
    miniature plant

    Dicot Seeds

    2. Embryo2 cotyledons-seed leaves


    Epicotyl-true leaves
    Hypocotyl-first stem, pulls
    seed upward
    Radicle-forms roots

    Monocot
    Germination
    1. Seed swells
    2. Radicle grows
    down
    3. First internode and
    epicotyl grows upward

    Monocot
    Germination
    4. New leaves form and
    food production starts
    5. New root system
    develops
    6. Temporary root
    system ceases to
    function and dies

    Dicot
    Germination
    1. Seed swells
    2. Radicle grows
    down
    3. Hypocotyl forms
    arch that breaks soil
    surface

    Dicot Germination
    4. Hypocotyl reaches
    light and straightens up
    5. Cotyledons turn green
    and make food
    6. As new leaves
    develop, cotyledons dry
    up and fall off
