Crop Physiology Lesson: Seeds Dormancy & Germination Part 2 of 2 & Plant Water Potential Part 1 of 2


Delivered on: 27 March 2024


Watch part 1 Seed dormancy and germination here: https://youtu.be/dn8fXVtAtFA


This video explores two critical aspects of plant physiology. The first part delves into the fascinating process of seed germination, covering key aspects such as dormancy mechanisms, the role of environmental factors like water, light, and temperature, and the metabolic processes involved, including enzyme activation and nutrient mobilization. It also investigates the role of phytochrome, a plant pigment, in responding to light and regulating germination. The second part focuses on plant water potential, a crucial concept in understanding water movement within plants. It explores the components of water potential, including solute potential and pressure potential, and discusses how these factors drive water movement through mechanisms such as cohesion, adhesion, and capillary action. This video provides a valuable resource for students of plant physiology, agriculture, and related fields, offering insights into fundamental plant processes.
