    Plant Development

    The process of a mature plant developing from a fertilized egg.

    Seed Germination

    The first stage of plant development, taking place when environmental conditions are suitable.

    Favorable Conditions

    Conditions that allow a seed to germinate (grow), such as moisture, temperature, and oxygen.

    Suspended Growth

    A state where seeds stop growing and remain dormant until conditions improve.

    Study Notes

    Plant Development

    • Plant development is a combination of growth and differentiation.
    • Mature plant development from a zygote follows a precise sequence of events.
    • This process creates a complex body with roots, leaves, branches, flowers, fruits, and seeds.
    • Plants eventually die.

    Seed Germination

    • Seed germination is the initial stage of plant growth.
    • Germination occurs when environmental conditions are favorable for growth.
    • Seeds do not germinate if conditions are unfavorable.
    • Unfavorable conditions induce a period of suspended growth or dormancy in seeds.
    • Seeds resume growth when favorable conditions return.
