GERMINATION OF SEEDS  RESEARCH ON SALINITY  PART

The purpose of this investigation is to develop a more advanced understanding of the germination of seeds. The investigation is worthwhile as it will explain such conditions needed for seeds to maximize germination to allow efficient plant development. This information could help the scientific community know when saline reaches dangerous levels for radish seeds.

The aim of this experiment is to find out how the salinity of water affects the optimum germination of seeds. A seed is a small embryonic plant enclosed in a covering called the seed coat, usually with some stored food (“Seed”, 2016). There are mainly two types of seeds: monocots and dicots. The cotyledon in monocots are just thin leaves that usually do not emerge above ground. Dicot cotyledons contain their seed’s endosperm, so they are thicker and fuller, which they use to produce
