Question

high temperature does not affect the dry seed as much as they affect the germinating seed​

Answer 1

Answer:

The germination of green mature seeds was significantly higher than the germination of dry seeds when exposed to 100°C and 120°C for 30, 45 and 60 min. ... Dry seeds showed very minor responses in germination to the increased temperatures except when exposed to 120°C for 60 min (26% compared to the control).

Answer 2

Germination is usually the growth of a plant contained within a seed; it results in the formation of the seedling. It is also the process of reactivation of metabolic machinery of the seed resulting in the emergence of radicle and plumule.
