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.
