This document discusses seed germination and dormancy. It describes three types of germination - epigeal, hypogeal, and viviparous germination. Seed germination is influenced by biotic factors like viability and dormancy period as well as abiotic factors such as light, temperature, oxygen, and soil conditions. There are three types of dormancy - exogenous, endogenous, and combinational, which can be caused by physical, mechanical, chemical, physiological or morphological conditions. Combinational dormancy occurs when both external and internal factors influence dormancy.
Overview of seed germination processes including types, growth factors, and dormancy.
Definition of seed germination, detailing the transition from dormant seed to seedling under favorable conditions.
Introduction to different types of seed germination: epigeal, hypogeal, and viviparous.
Factors influencing seed germination: biotic factors like viability and dormancy, and abiotic factors like light, temperature, oxygen, and soil.
Discussion on seed viability and the importance of dormancy periods in seed germination.
Detailing abiotic factors: light, temperature, oxygen, and soil types essential for germination.
Different types of dormancy encompassing exogenous (physical, mechanical, chemical) and endogenous (physiological, morphological, combined).
Exploration of exogenous dormancy types: physical, mechanical, and chemical factors.
Discussion on physiological dormancy aspects including drying, photodormancy, and thermodormancy.
Description of combinational dormancy effects, combining exogenous and endogenous factors for seed dormancy.
List of references detailing studies and findings on seed science and the germination process.
