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.
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. [9]
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 dough is made from flour and water, with leavened and unleavened varieties. The stuffing typically includes chopped garlic chives, scrambled eggs, [1] sauteed mini-shrimp and cellophane noodles. Mushrooms and wood ear fungus are sometimes included. There is also a variety with minced meat as stuffing. [2]
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 ...
Seeds of many trees, shrubs and perennials require these conditions before germination will ensue. [3] In the wild, seed dormancy is usually overcome by the seed spending time in the ground through a winter period and having its hard seed coat softened by frost and weathering action. By doing so the seed is undergoing a natural form of "cold ...
Learn how to clean, prepare and cook with pumpkin seeds. These recipes include salads, granola, coffee cake, pumpkin bread and muffins.
Allium tuberosum (garlic chives, Oriental garlic, Asian chives, Chinese chives, Chinese leek) is a species of plant native to the Chinese province of Shanxi, and cultivated and naturalized elsewhere in Asia and around the world. [1] [4] [5] [6] It has a number of uses in Asian cuisine.
