- Germination of seed is the first stage of growth of a plant.
- It refers to the beginning of the seed to sprout a plant.
- Every plant, be it fruit, vegetable, or flower goes through the germination of seed.
- Germination of seed happens in the presence of soil.
- It also requires adequate water and sunshine.
- Germination can also be done in an artificial environment.
- Here, artificial seeds or certain parts of a plant are sown as regular seeds.
- They are then made to grow in artificial, vitro or vivo conditions.
- Such artificial germination enables a wider scope of experimentation with plants.
- This also leads to the birth of hybrid plants.
