Research on Dormancy and Seed Germination as an Educational Resource (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

The Ministry of Education of Russia sees one of the ways to improve the efficiency of the educational process in modern Russian schools in the development of extracurricular education system through elective and elective courses. The elective courses, in addition to teaching and research activities, may include elements of scientific-research work, and in this regard, it is important for a teacher to choose a topic, direction in which students could work. One of such directions is the least studied in the physiology of plant growth and development problems of dormancy and seed germination. It is known that the hormonal system of plants regulates such important processes as seed formation, their transition to dormancy, seed emergence from dormancy (Obrucheva, 2012). There is no doubt that gibberellins, auxins and cytokinins play an important role in some stages of seed formation (Nefedyeva, 2013). It is also established that these hormones and abscisic acid regulate the process of seed germination (Kefeli, 1989). According to M. G. Nikolaeva, the hormone whose content determines the transition of seeds to the dormant state and their exit from it is indolylacetic acid.
