Physiological events that occur during seed germination or lag stage of plant growth

• Hydrolysis of storage food material
• Synthesis of enzymes, nucleic acids, structural proteins
• Respiration to provide energy for cellular activities
• Glucose and amino acids are translocated from the storage centre (endosperm or cotyledon) of the seed to the growing regions of the embryo.
• Cell division, elongation and differentiation leads to immergence of a seedling from a seed.
