The practicalities of understanding the seed germination process are obvious; humans depend directly on seeds for much of our food; seeds are the regenerative unit upon which agriculture and civilization depends. The fundamental importance of the orthodox seed as the cornerstone of agriculture is in stark contrast to our lack of a basic understanding of the seed as a propagule. How can a seed dry to 5 to 10 percent moisture content and still be alive? How does the seed integrate environmental information with its internal physiological status to orchestrate the completion of germination under appropriate conditions? Society relies on seeds withstanding storage and completing germination to establish crops; yet, a fundamental understanding of a seed's ability to abide at very low moisture for years is lacking. Poor understanding of seed storage and germination control prevents engineering these traits, despite their great biotechnological potential, e.g., avoiding preharvest sprouting while enabling synchronous field emergence in increasingly unpredictable environments. So, how much do YOU know about the food you eat? Good luck with these quizzes!
