    Epigeal Germination Germination: Two Types of Germination:: Epi, "Above": Hypo, "Below"

    Uploaded by

    Epigeal germination begins with water imbibition by the seed and ends when the embryo penetrates the seed coat. It involves cell division, embryo enlargement, and increased metabolism. During epigeal germination, the cotyledon emerges above ground, turns green and photosynthesizes to act as the first leaves, while the hypocotyl elongates and curves to protect the plumule from soil friction. Hypogeal germination keeps the cotyledon below ground where it does not photosynthesize, the epicotyl elongates and curves to protect the plumule, and energy for growth comes initially from endosperm.
