4. Seed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed

   The formation of the seed is the defining part of the process of reproduction in seed plants (spermatophytes). Other plants such as ferns, mosses and liverworts, do not have seeds and use water-dependent means to propagate themselves. Seed plants now dominate biological niches on land, from forests to grasslands both in hot and cold climates.

5. Plant physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_physiology

   A germination rate experiment. Plant physiology is a subdiscipline of botany concerned with the functioning, or physiology, of plants. [1]Plant physiologists study fundamental processes of plants, such as photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrition, plant hormone functions, tropisms, nastic movements, photoperiodism, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythms, environmental stress physiology, seed ...

6. Glossary of plant morphology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_plant_morphology

   The remainder of the vascular plant sections address the higher plants (spermatophytes or seed plants, i.e. gymnosperms and angiosperms or flowering plants). In the higher plants, the terrestrial sporophyte has evolved specialised parts. In essence, they have a lower, underground component and an upper, aerial component.

7. Germination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germination

   Most seeds need enough water to moisten the seeds but not enough to soak them. The uptake of water by seeds is called imbibition, which leads to the swelling and the breaking of the seed coat. When seeds are formed, most plants store a food reserve with the seed, such as starch, proteins, or oils. This food reserve provides nourishment to the ...

8. Propagule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagule

   In some plants, a leaf section or a portion of root can be used. In sexual reproduction , a propagule is a seed or spore . In micropropagation , a type of asexual reproduction , any part of the plant may be used, though it is usually a highly meristematic part such as root and stem ends or buds.
