Germination is a fascinating process. Seeing the life-preserving secrets of seeds, and a tiny seedling emerge from a dry, wrinkled seed and watching its growth and transformation is observing the mystery of life unfolding. While studying the seed s morphology ask yourself a simple question whether or not, a viable, fertile seed and optimal conditions for germination are enough to transform a tiny grain into a mature plant, bush, or tree? There is something else, isn't it, something mysterious that breathes life and vigor into a new development! Designed for the Nature-lovers, this book provides with comprehensive knowledge on the anatomy of seeds, bio-compounds, modes of dispersal (gravidity, wind, hydrochory, ballistochory, plant-plant interaction, epizoochory, endozoochory, myrmecochory, and livestock mode by humans), dormancy, fecundity, and germination on a variety of examples and schemes ranging from Kentucky coffee, maple tree, violet, to jewelweed, lotus, or apricot. By its core it intends to promote the culture of garbage, and to contribute in the recovery of our exhausted soilbank. Never trash seeds! Return them to the soil.
