What is the advantage to a plant to have seeds that undergo a dormancy period before germinating?
Seed and fruit dispersal is achieved with the aid of wind, water, animals, mechanical means, and humans. If you were designing a new plant, can you think of any new way in which it might be dispersed? What would you call the plant?
1.
Importance of Seed Dormancy:
1. Perennation:
Seed dormancy enables seeds to progress during drought, cold and
additional adverse circumstances.
2. Dispersal:
It is necessary for dispersal of seeds.
3. Germination supporting beneficial Conditions:
Seeds germinate solely when satisfactory water is available to
leach out inhibitors and soften the seed coats.
4. Storage: human beings are able to store grains because of
dormancy. Storage of these edibles makes them accessible during the
year and transportation to the regions of deficiency.
2.
plant seeds and fruits are dispersed by abiotic and biotic factors
which can move. Animals including humans are particularly efficient
at performing this.
If I was designing a new plant, I think I would have to invoke an
improbable new mechanism to elucidate this subject which is,
producing seeds that slither or creep on their own apart from the
mother plant.
Evolution has already influenced plants to explore the dispersal
factor very adequately like in case of forest fires.
I would like to call the plants crawlers.
