Bishup Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Seeds don't have to have soil to germinate, a good example of this is a dicotyledonous seed such as as the broad bean. It only needs water to kick start the germination process which triggers the production of the plant hormone Gibberillin. Leading to the hydrolysis of starchy subjects in the seed such as starch down to maltose and eventually glucose for plant growth. Hope this helps.

Mahuta ♥ Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Germination of a dicot seed can be done by putting water-soaked cotton in a small dish. I remember doing this in the 4th grade. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
