The physiological processes that take place during seed germination

The physiological processes that take place during seed germination

  • Hydrolysis of storage food material into soluble products
  • Translocation of soluble products from storage area to the actively growing centres.
  • Synthesis of enzymes, nucleic acids, structural proteins
  • Respiration to provide energy for cellular activities
  • Glucose and amino acids are translocated from the storage centres (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.
