Seed Germination

Seeds begin growth when environmental conditions trigger water absorption and enzyme activation. The embryo uses stored nutrients to develop initial root and shoot systems. Temperature, moisture, and oxygen levels determine germination success, with each species having optimal conditions.

Vegetative Growth

Plants develop leaves for photosynthesis and expand root systems for nutrient uptake. Growth requires balanced light, water, and mineral nutrients. Hormones regulate stem elongation, leaf expansion, and branching patterns. Plants respond to environmental signals by adjusting growth direction and rate.

Reproductive Phase

Mature plants transition to flowering based on environmental cues like day length or temperature. Flowers develop into fruits containing seeds after pollination. The cycle completes as seeds disperse, carrying genetic information for the next generation.Shutdown123
