\nSeed:- <\/b>seed are the fertilized ovule used for multiplication or raising new crop. It is the basic part of any plants. It is made up of seed coat and embryo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Different types of seed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


<\/b>
\nType of seed:-<\/b>\u00a0There are two types of seed. They are:-<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Monocotyledonous seed and<\/li>\n
  2. Dicotyledonous seed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Monocotyledonous seeds:-<\/b>\u00a0As the name suggest, it has only one cotyledon. There is only one outer layering of seed coat. Monocotyledonous seeds have following parts.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Seed coat:-<\/b>\u00a0In the seed of cereal crops like maize have membranous seed coat.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    2. Endosperm:-<\/b>\u00a0The endosperm is generally bulky and store nutrients for growing seedlings. Generally monocotyledonous seeds <\/b>are endospermic.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    3. Aleuron layer:- <\/b>It is the proteinous layer that separates outer covering of endosperm with embryo.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    4. Embryo:-<\/b>\u00a0It is small and situated in a groove at one end of endosperm.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    5. Scutellum:- <\/b>This is one large and shield shaped cotyledon.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    6. Embryonal axis:- <\/b>Plumule and radicle are the two ends.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u00a07.Coleoptile and Coleorhiza:- <\/b>Plumule and radicle are enclosed in a sheath and called as coleoptile and Coleorhiza.<\/p>\n

        \n<\/ol>\n

        \nDicotyledonous seed:-<\/b>\u00a0As the name suggests “di” means two. It means that it has two cotyledon. It has following parts:-<\/p>\n

        \n
          \n
        1. Seed coat:- <\/b>This is the outer most covering of seed. The seed coat has two layer i.e testa and the inner tegmen.\u00a0<\/li>\n
        2. Hilum:-<\/b>\u00a0The hilum is the scar on seed coat through which the developing seed are attached.\u00a0<\/li>\n
        3. Micropyle:- <\/b>It is the small pore present above the hilum.\u00a0<\/li>\n
        4. Embryo:- <\/b>It consists of an embryonal axis and two cotyledons.\u00a0<\/li>\n
        5. Cotyledons:- <\/b>They are fleshy structure that acts as store house of food materials.\u00a0<\/li>\n
        6. Radicle and plumule:- <\/b>They are present at the two end of embryonal axis. These two develop in root and shoot after germination.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u00a07.Endosperm:- <\/b>Endosperm are food storing\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 tissue.<\/p>\n

          #. Difference between seed and grain:-<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
          <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
          seed vs grain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

          \nSeed quality:-<\/b>\u00a0The seed quality is the possession of seed with required genetic and physical purity that is accompained with Physiological soundness and health status. The major seed quality characters are:-<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Physical quality<\/li>\n
          2. Genetic purity<\/li>\n
          3. Physiological purity and<\/li>\n
          4. Seed health<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
