Hormone Regulation on seed germination

seed germination with hormone regulation

What's Happening

Gibberellin (GA) hormones act as the primary germination 'on-switch' by counteracting dormancy hormone abscisic acid (ABA). The GA-to-ABA ratio increase triggers the expression of amylase enzymes that break down starch reserves into simple sugars for energy

How to Fix It

  1. 1

    Use fresh, viable seeds with high germination rates

  2. 2

    Provide optimal temperature range for the specific species

  3. 3

    Avoid premature harvesting of seeds - allow full maturation

How to Prevent It

Maintain proper temperature (warmth increases GA activity), ensure seeds are mature and viable
