Many herbaceous plants from temperate climate zones have physiological dormancy that disappears with drying of the seeds. Photodormancy or light sensitivity affects germination of some seeds. These photoblastic seeds need a period of darkness or light to germinate. In species with thin seed coats, light may be able to penetrate into the dormant ...
The seedlings of some flowering plants have no cotyledons at all. These are said to be acotyledons. The plumule is the part of a seed embryo that develops into the shoot bearing the first true leaves of a plant. In most seeds, for example the sunflower, the plumule is a small conical structure without any leaf structure. Growth of the plumule ...
Light or darkness can be an environmental trigger for germination and is a type of physiological dormancy. Most seeds are not affected by light or darkness, but many photoblastic seeds, including species found in forest settings, will not germinate until an opening in the canopy allows sufficient light for the growth of the seedling.

The type of seed dispersal evolved has been highly correlated to seed size in floras across the world. [22] In general, seeds smaller than 0.1 mg are often unassisted (wind dispersed), seeds larger than 100 mg are often dispersed by vertebrates or by water, and seeds between 0.1 and 100 mg are dispersed by a large variety of dispersal modes ...
It’s another game, we get to play football. It’s the biggest stage in football and the world and it’s an honor to play in it.” DALLAS GOEDERT, tight end: “Dreams are coming true.
The coleoptile protects the first leaf as well as the growing stem in seedlings and eventually, allows the first leaf to emerge. [1] Coleoptiles have two vascular bundles, one on either side. Unlike the flag leaves rolled up within, the pre-emergent coleoptile does not accumulate significant protochlorophyll or carotenoids, and so it is ...
Phototropism in plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana is directed by blue light receptors called phototropins. [13] Other photosensitive receptors in plants include phytochromes that sense red light [14] and cryptochromes that sense blue light. [15] Different organs of the plant may exhibit different phototropic reactions to different wavelengths ...
Using any game-long stat from the Chiefs offense in the Super Bowl to make a point about a unit or player is flimsy at best and outright dishonest at worst. By the time the second quarter ended ...
