### process | development:

Germination
* Most germination depends on soil moisture
* Most germination occurs during first grow seasons
* Most germination occurs in plants
  - on soil surfaces
* Some germination affects uniformity
  - depends on climates
* Some germination occurs in soil temperature
  - requires oxygen
* also depends on the physical environment.
* begins before the liberation of the spore.
* begins when a spore falls in a place with proper conditions of heat and moisture
  - the seed absorbs water and ends when the primary root emerges
* can take place under a wide range of conditions.
* contains seeds
  - weed seeds
* depends on a combination of rainfall, light and temperature
  - surface soil moisture and temperature
* initiates enzyme development and conversion of barley to malt.
* is affected by the parent plant environment
  - spread of the fungus and can improve with seed treatment
  - associated with abundant winter precipitation
  - at the site of exposure in the macrophages
  - delayed when the embryo is dormant
* is enhanced by light and by cold storage
  - passing through the digestive tract of birds
  - scarification with a dilute acid
  - entirely a food utilization process
  - epigeal and is enhanced by bare mineral soil
  - epigeal, and usually in heavy organic matter
  - essentially a quickening of the growth of the embryo
  - hypogeal and the plumule is sensitive to light
  - increased by moistening of stratum
  - inhibited under a dense leaf canopy
* is more related to habitat or genetic variables than initial seed moisture content
  - than just the protrusion of the root or shoot from the seed covering
  - one of the most critical periods for a crop subjected to salinity
  - origins
  - proof of life
  - reported as the percentage of seed producing normal seedlings
* is the emergence of the embryo or seedling from the seed
  - first stage in the growth and life cycle of a plant from seed
* is the growth of a tube from the surface of a pollen grain
  - an embryonic plant contained within a seed
  - the embryo inside the seed, eventually growing into a mature plant
* is the process by which a plant grows from a seed
  - in which the seeds sprout and the root emerges
* is the process of a plant emerging from a seed and beginning to grow
  - the embryo emerging from the seed
* is the resumption of active embryo growth after a dormant period
  - stage during which the seed of a plant first begins to grow
  - start of the growing process for a plant embryo
  - triggered by absorption of water through the seed coat
* is when a seed sprouts
  - the seed begins to grow a root and a shoot
* leads to considerable changes in the nutritive quality of a grain.
* occurs anytime during the growing season when soil moisture is adequate.
  - the cool season, mostly after the first rains
* occurs in autumn
  - springs
  - the presence of sufficient water and warm temperatures
  - weeks
* occurs on soil surfaces
* occurs rapidly after encystment and the germ tubes penetrate the root epidermis
  - in cultured macrophages
  - when the seedling root or radicle emerges from the seed coat
  - within exposure
* process by which the seed develops into a seedling
  - when the seed develops into a seedling
* remains unchanged for a period of time during storage and then declines rapidly.
* requires high temperature
  - light yet seems little affected by photoperiod length
  - stratification and a period of cold temperatures
* simple method of food processing that results in increased nutritive value.
* takes months.
* takes place in full sun and seeds can remain dormant viable for more than a century
  - without the aid of a fungus
* takes several months
* topic that pops up.
* unfolds, and enzymes trigger elaborate biochemical changes.

### process | development | germination:

Pollen germination
* Most pollen germination takes places.
* depends upon the presence of sucrose, calcium, and boron.
