seeditavusest
Seeditavusest, also known as seed dormancy, refers to the phenomenon where seeds are prevented from germinating under otherwise favorable conditions. This dormancy is a survival mechanism that ensures germination occurs at an optimal time, increasing the seedling's chances of survival. There are several types of dormancy, including physiological dormancy, which is inherent to the seed's internal physiology, and physical dormancy, caused by a hard or impermeable seed coat. Environmental factors can also play a role, with some seeds requiring specific light, temperature, or moisture conditions to break dormancy.
Physiological dormancy can be broken by various treatments such as stratification (exposure to cold, moist conditions),
