| description | The majority of both human and animal diets are made up mostly of seed, which is also the foundation and the first input used in the transmission of genetic features in crop development. Seed dormancy, a physiological phenomenon in plants that can be brought on by internal or external stimuli, prevents seeds from sprouting even under ideal circumstances. Hard seed coats, underdeveloped embryos, primitive embryos, and inhibitory compounds can all contribute to seed dormancy. Under normal circumstances, soil melting and freezing, microbial activity, forest fires, soil activity, and animal consumption break dormancy in seeds. The most common method for releasing seeds from their dormancy is scarification, which can be carried out mechanically or chemically followed by others like scarification, light and heat treatment, dipping in hot water, etc. Leaching is another method for ending seed dormancy because it destroys the inhibitory components of the seed coat. |
