Why do seeds need water to germinate?

(1) Following hydration, enzymes break down stored food and make it available for the embryo.

(2) Water provides energy.

(3) Water activates the chlorophyll molecules so that photosynthesis can begin.

(4) Water dissolves the minerals in the soil so that they become available to the seed.

Scientists are trying to transfer apomictic genes into hybrid varieties of several of our food and vegetable crops so that:

1. They get resistance against common pathogens

2. The yield of these plants can be increased many folds

3. Hybrid seeds need not be produced every year

4. Their germplasm is easily stored in labs for further research
