An albuminous seed which shows hypogeal germination is
-
Castor
-
Maize
-
Gram
-
Bean
Which of the following substances present in seed coats and cotyledons of seeds inhibit seed germination?
-
Absicic acid
-
Phenolic acid
-
Ferulic acid
-
All of the above
- Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or similar structure.
- The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm.substances present in seed coats and cotyledons of seeds inhibit seed germination are Abscisic acid, Phenolic acid and Ferulic acid.
- Abscisic acid (ABA) reversibly arrests embryo development at radicle, growth initiation, inhibiting the water uptake which accompanies embryo growth.
- Hence, substances present in seed coats and cotyledons of seeds inhibit seed germination is Abscisic acid, Phenolic acid and Ferulic acid.
- So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
Essential requirements of seed germination is ..........................
-
Light and carbondioxide
-
Water and oxygen
-
Water and soil
-
Microbes cold or hot treatment.
At a basic level, seeds have three requirements to permit germination. These are:
- Water (during absorption and subsequent stages of growth).
- Oxygen (for respiration).
- Temperatures adequate for metabolism and growth.
All of the following statements about the role played by water in the growth of plants are true, except
-
It is a solvent in which several substances are dissolved.
-
It participates as a reagent in many reactions.
-
It helps in the germination of seeds but does not provide turgidity to growing cells.
-
It serves as the medium for transport of inorganic salts.
-
Primary component of photosynthesis and transpiration.
-
Turgor pressure (pressure to inflate cells and hold plant erect).
-
Solvent to move minerals from the soil up to the plant.
-
Solvent to move products of photosynthesis throughout the plant, including down to the root system.
-
Regulation of stomatal opening and closure, thus regulating transpiration and photosynthesis.
-
Source of pressure to move roots through the soil.
-
Medium for biochemical reactions.
Oxygen in the presence of enough moisture causes ____ to start. This creates ____ for the germination process.
-
Respiration, energy
-
Photosynthesis, energy
-
development, growth
-
photosynthesis, growth
Oxygen is one of the factors that play an important role in the germination of seeds. Oxygen in the presence of enough moisture causes respiration to start. This creates energy for the germination process.
Which of the following is not an important condition needed for seeds to germinate?
-
Temperature
-
Water
-
Light
-
None of the above
Germination may also be defined as protrusion of embryonic axis from the seed to resume growth. The external factors that affect seed germination are as follows:
Seasonal growth cycle of plants can be influenced by
-
Temperature
-
Amount of water
-
Amount of daylight
-
All of the above
Most seeds go through ____ period before germination.
-
Cold
-
Hot
-
Solid
-
None of the above
Most seeds go through a cold period before germination. Helps prevent seeds from sprouting as soon as they mature.
Deeply sown seeds do not germinate and do not come up over due to the deficiency of ...................
-
Nutrients
-
Water
-
Oxygen
-
Both B and C
Soil is ploughed before seeds are sown. It is done to ensure the supply of oxygen in soil. Aerated soils can only support the growth of plants. Thus, if the seeds are sown deeply it will not germinate.
The most important external factor for seed germination is
-
Light
-
Soil
-
Oxygen
-
Water
Water, air and suitable temperature are necessary for seed germination. Water is necesssary for germination because food is stored in the seeds in dry condition, but the developing embryo cannot utilize this dry food. Food can be utilized in liquid form only and seeds can utilize only dissolved oxygen. Excess water stops germination because once all the dissolved oxygen is utilised by the seed, further germination is not possible as the life supporting oxygen is now lacking. So, the correct answer is 'Water'.
