Introduction to Growth and Development in Plants -

  • Development is the sum of two processes: growth and differentiation. 
  • To begin with, the development of a mature plant from a zygote (fertilised egg) follow a precise and highly ordered succession of events. 
  • During this process, a complex body organisation is formed that produces roots, leaves, branches, flowers, fruits, and seeds, and eventually, they die
  • The first step in the process of plant growth is seed germination. 
  • The seed germinates when favourable conditions for growth exist in the environment. 
  • In the absence of such favourable conditions, the seeds do not germinate and go into a period of suspended growth or rest. 
  • Once favourable conditions return, the seeds resume metabolic activities and growth takes place.

 

 

Hence, the correct answer is option a.
