In home gardens, for example, the seeds of plants which are otherwise difficult to grow from seed may be made viable through scarification. The thawing and freezing of water, fire and smoke and chemical reactions in nature are what allow seeds to germinate but the process can be sped up by using the various methods described thus far.
The bulbs are slender, conical, 2–3 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long and 1 cm (1 ⁄ 2 in) broad, and grow in dense clusters from the roots. The scapes (or stems) are hollow and tubular, up to 50 cm (20 in) long [ citation needed ] and 2–3 mm ( 1 ⁄ 16 – 1 ⁄ 8 in) across, with a soft texture, although, prior to the emergence of a ...
Allium ochotense, or the Siberian onion, [3] is a primarily East Asian species of wild onion native to northern Japan, Korea, China, and the Russian Far East, as well as on Attu Island in Alaska.
Pa-O women selling vegetables. The following is a list of ingredients used in Burmese cuisine.Burmese cuisine utilizes a wide array of vegetables and fruits. Due to influences from India and China, most Burmese dishes use a much wider variety of ingredients than the Indian or Chinese cuisines.
True dormancy or inherent (or innate) dormancy is caused by conditions within the seed that prevent germination even if the conditions are favorable. [7] Imposed dormancy is caused by the external conditions that remain unsuitable for germination [8] Seed dormancy can be divided into two major categories based on what part of the seed produces dormancy: exogenous and endogenous.

Allium flavum (yellow) and Allium carinatum (purple). Allium is a large genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants with around 1000 accepted species, [4] [5] making Allium the largest genus in the family Amaryllidaceae and amongst the largest plant genera in the world. [6]
Dormant seeds are viable seeds that do not germinate because they require specific internal or environmental stimuli to resume growth. Under proper conditions, the seed begins to germinate and the embryo resumes growth, developing into a seedling. [clarification needed] Step 1: Water imbibition, the uptake of water, results in rupture of seed coat.
The soaking increases the water content in the seeds and brings them out of quiescence. After draining and then rinsing seeds at regular intervals, the seeds then germinate, or sprout. For home sprouting, the seeds are soaked (big seeds) or moistened (small), then left at room temperature (13 to 21 °C or 55 to 70 °F) in a sprouting vessel.
