This article presents a thorough examination of seed germination, a critical phase
in the plant life cycle. Delving into the intricate processes that initiate and sustain
germination, the study explores key factors influencing successful seed germination,
including environmental conditions, moisture, temperature, and hormonal regulation.
The role of seed dormancy and its impact on germination dynamics is scrutinized,
providing insights into strategies for breaking dormancy barriers. Additionally, the
article evaluates emerging technologies and innovative approaches in seed priming and
enhancement, shedding light on their potential to optimize germination rates and
seedling vigor. By synthesizing current research findings and advancements, this
comprehensive study contributes to a deeper understanding of seed germination,
offering valuable knowledge for agricultural practices, horticulture, and ecosystem
restoration efforts.
