Seed Germination:

Emergence of Radicle through Seed Coat

Water Warm TemperatureSo if you want to store seeds what are the conditions?

Dry Cold

Dormant seeds need more than moisture and warmth:

Thick Seed Coat

Thin Seed Coat

Insufficient Development

Inhibitor: Abscisic Acid

Inhibitor: Phenolics

Scarification

Light

Soil Fungus Association

Stratification > Vernalization

Leaching by Repeated Rain

Kentucky Coffee Tree

Lettuce

Orchids

Most CT feral plants

Cacti

Darkor or Pea

Dormancy is caused by: Is overcome by: Example:

Seeds lacking dormancy need:

nick digestscrub firefreeze-thaw cycles

6 weeks at 4° C

20° C
