The 29 pages that link to Seed germination, each with the reason it gives.

• Ornamental plantRelated: Seed-grown ornamentals can produce new varieties, though offspring may differ from cultivars.

• Seed bankRelated: Germination tests reveal whether an accession can still produce plants.

• Seed dormancyNarrower topic: Dormancy is defined by its delay of this developmental transition.

• FrugivoryRelated: Successful dispersal matters only if deposited seeds remain viable and can germinate.

• AllelopathyRelated: Allelochemicals can inhibit or alter this early stage of a neighboring plant’s life.

• Annual plantRelated: It begins the life cycle that annuals must finish in one growing season.

• Seed coatNarrower topic: The coat can delay germination, then split as the growing embryo emerges.

• CotyledonRelated: Germination is when cotyledons supply or transfer resources to the growing embryo.

• Direct seedingBroader topic: Direct-seeded crops depend on successful germination in the field.

• Plant life cycleBroader topic: It marks the transition from a dormant seed to a growing sporophyte.

• Abscisic acidCompared with: Abscisic acid-maintained dormancy restrains germination until conditions permit growth.

• Seed treatmentNarrower topic: Treatments must protect the seed without disrupting this early growth process.

• PeaRelated: A pea seed begins the next plant generation when it absorbs water and sprouts.

• HydrochoryRelated: Successful hydrochory depends on seeds surviving transport and germinating after deposition.

• DillRelated: Dill’s cultivation depends on successful germination and conditions that support steady growth.

• Herb gardenRelated: Many annual herbs begin as seeds sown directly or started indoors.

• Butternut squashRelated: Germination begins the crop cycle that produces butternut vines and fruit.

• MucilageRelated: Seed mucilage retains moisture around seeds and can influence germination.

• SeedbedBroader topic: Germination is the first biological process the seedbed must support.

• SowingRelated: Sowing creates the soil conditions in which germination can begin.

• ArecalesRelated: Palm seeds germinate into seedlings whose early growth patterns vary among lineages.

• HypocotylRelated: Hypocotyl extension is a visible part of seedling emergence in many species.

• Plant nurseryBroader topic: Seed-grown nursery crops begin with controlled germination.

• ChervilRelated: Chervil is commonly established from seed because it dislikes transplanting.

• DicotyledonRelated: Germination reveals whether cotyledons emerge or remain below ground.

• Nymphaea lotusRelated: Germinating seeds provide one route for raising new water lilies.

• Garden cressRelated: Its rapid germination makes garden cress useful for quick crops and classroom demonstrations.

• Nymphaea thermarumRelated: Successful cultivation depends on germinating seeds under conditions unlike those used for many water lilies.

• Eruca sativaRelated: Rocket cultivation begins when its seeds absorb water and sprout.
