Seeds serve several functions for the plants that produce them. Key among these functions are nourishment of the embryo, dispersal to a new location, and dormancy during unfavorable conditions.

Seeds fundamentally are a means of reproduction and most seeds are the product of sexual reproduction which produces a remixing of genetic material and phenotype . . . → Read More: Seed Germination In Seed Crops

High Rainfall Perennial Grass- Seed Dormancy

By Asst Editor Jason D, on December 23rd, 2011

Seed dormancy is common in some species and ‘primary’ dormancy (sometimes called post-harvest dormancy) is usually associated with either the physical structures that surround the seed (lemma, palea and glumes) preventing moisture reaching the seed, or chemical inhibition that declines with time, or mechanisms within the embryo.

As a result, seed samples can . . . → Read More: High Rainfall Perennial Grass- Seed Dormancy
