Question

Which is most crucial for storage of seeds?

• A. Dehydration and dormancy
• B. Endosperm and water
• C. Least amount of development
• D. Endosperm in large quantity

Answer 1

The correct option is A Dehydration and dormancy

Dehydration is the removal of water. In dehydration, there is less amount of water. In less amount of water, the seed cannot work and so there is no germination. Dormancy is the time period in which seed temporarily suspended its growth and development due to lack of necessary condition for growing. Dehydration and dormancy of mature seeds are crucial for storage of seeds.
