Seed germination is the process by which a seed embryo awakens from dormancy and begins to sprout and grow into a seedling. This is a crucial stage in the life cycle of a plant, as it marks the beginning of its growth and development. Factors such as temperature, water availability, light, and soil nutrients can all influence the germination process. Researchers in this area study the mechanisms that control and regulate seed germination, as well as the environmental conditions that affect this process. This research is important for understanding plant growth, improving crop yield, and promoting biodiversity in natural ecosystems.
