The document discusses the chemical composition of seeds. It states that seeds typically have high lipid content concentrated in storage tissues, providing energy. Lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. Seeds also contain proteins, carbohydrates like starch, and small amounts of water and soluble sugars. The chemical composition supports the growth of the embryo during germination.
This presentation describes about the dormancy, types of dormancy (seed dormancy and bud dormancy) as well as methods to overcome the bud and seed dormancy in detail.

This presentation includes, Single-locus self-incompatibility- {Gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) and Sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI)},2-locus gametophytic self-incompatibility, Heteromorphic self-incompatibility,Cryptic self-incompatibility (CSI) and Late-acting self-incompatibility (LSI).
India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world. India’s major exports include onion, mango pulp, dried walnuts, fresh grapes. India’s share in the global market is insignificant – it accounts for 1.7% of the global trade in vegetables and 0.5% in fruits.
Plant breeding methods of vegetatively propagated crops Roksana Aftab Ruhi
Vegetatively propagated crops are bred by intentionally crossing of closely or distantly related individual to produce new crop varieties or lines with desirable traits. Breeding of vegetative crops have successfully improved quality, yield, tolerance of crops to environmental pressure. Breeding helps in producing crops that are resistant to viruses, fungi and bacteria and helps in longer storage period for the harvested crop.
Micropropagation and commercial exploitation in horticulture cropsDheeraj Sharma
Micro-propagation – principles and concepts, commercial exploitation in horticultural crops. Techniques - in vitro clonal propagation, direct organogenesis, embryogenesis, micrografting, meristem culture. Hardening, packing and transport of micro-propagules.
Plants create their own food through the process of photosynthesis, making them autotrophs. Additionally, the process' end result is referred to as a photosynthate or photo-assimilate. In plants, the phloem is a conducting tissue that carries photosynthate (food) to every part of the plant. While storage or the point of use is referred to as the Sink, the source of production or manufacturing is referred to as the Source. The source and sink connection notion is explained in the slides. The mechanisms cover these and other crucial aspects of the topic.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
Most seeds have high LIPID content.
Except for certain fruits, the occurrence of high lipids
concentrations differentiates seeds from other plant
organs.
Lipids are concentrated in the endosperm or cotyledon
storage tissues in Angiosperms.
Endosperm is generally solid.
Lipids provide the highest amount of potential energy
per unit weight
5. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
The seed lipid reserve is generally hydrolyzed in
situ to glycerol and fatty acid by lipases.
The fatty acids are utilized for phospholipids and
glycolipids.
These are required as constituents of organelles.
However, most are converted to sugars and
transported to the seedling (body) for growth.
6. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
They dissolve in organic solvents e.g. benzene, acetone,
alcohol, ether but do not dissolve in H2O.
The value of seed-borne lipids for food and industrial uses
is enormous.
In contrast to animal fats, their highly unsaturated
chemical nature has caused increased interest in
them for health purposes.
High lipid content is usually associated with decreased
protein content e.g. soybean, rapeseed.
8. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
All the basic protoplasmic components are present
in seeds.
This include amino acid, vitamins, nucleic acid,
co-enzymes and minerals.
Phosphorus content in most seeds is often very
high. WHY?
This element occurs most commonly as Phytin-
Salts of inositol hexaphosphate.
9. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
All seed contain PROTEIN as the protoplasmic
component.
Protein are huge N2 containing molecules with huge
structures, greater part of which yield amino acid upon
hydrolysis of peptide bond.
They are so important to plant and animal life that all
physiological reactions of living cells revolve around their
physical and chemical properties and those of related
compounds.
11. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
Aside H2O, they are the principal components of
all protoplasm of both plant and animal cells.
Seeds often contain unusual amino acids which are not
constituents of proteins.
This may act as N2 store and may be present to the
extent of several percent of the seed’s dry weight.
Chlorophyll is absent in seeds.
12. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
In some cases, e.g. legumes, large quantities of
special reserved proteins with a distinctive
chemical composition are also stored.
The storage proteins occur as membrane
enveloped protein bodies (Aleurone bodies)
They may occasionally occur as crystals.
The protein reserve in all cases is sufficient for
growth before the plant becomes self-supporting.
13. Percentage Of Protein Contents
Crop Storage tissue Protein
1. Cereals
Wheat, Barley, Rye Endosperm 10-14
Maize Endosperm 10-14
Oat Endosperm 12-14
2. Pulses/Legumes
Pea, Broad bean Cotyledons 22-26
Soybean Cotyledons 35-40
3. Oilseeds
Rapeseed Endosperm 20-22
Castor Endosperm 18-20
4. Gymnosperms
Pine Non embryonic 35
14. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
Seed storage proteins are less complex than
protoplasmic protein and less likely to be tied up with
lipids.
The great majority of seed protein are metabolically
inactive and serve merely as food reserve for use by the
growing embryo during germination.
Active ones are few but they are extremely important
to the developing and germinating seed.
As enzyme, they catalyze the metabolic processes in
digestion, translocation and utilization of stored food
reserves; no growth can occur without them.
15. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
CARBOHYDRATES are the major storage
substances in seeds.
Carbohydrates occur mainly as starch or
hemicellulose.
Other carbohydrates that occur in non storage
forms are peptin and mucilage.
17. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
Starch is the principal and most wide spread storage
carbohydrate.
They are metabolically inactive reserves stored until
needed during germination.
Starch is stored in two related forms; amylose and
amylopectin which are two polymers of D-glucose.
Amylose stains blue when exposed to iodine and its 100%
digestible by alpha amylase.
18. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
Amylopeptin on the other hand is only about 50%
digestible by alpha amylase and stains purplish-red when
exposed to iodine.
However, they are both hydrolyzed by alpha and beta
amylase during normal metabolism and germination.
Starch is stored as grains (up to 5µm in diameter) as
formed in the amyloplast.
Hemicellulose are normal cell wall components in all
tissues.
20. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
Hemicellulose are usually found in the thickened
tertially layers of cell walls of the endosperm or
cotyledon instead of the interior region of the
endosperm.
They are composed principally of mannans with small
amount of glucose, galactose, arabinose as side chain
on the main linear polymers of mannose residues.
Where they form a major seed reserve, they are laid
down as heavy cell wall thickening, which almost fill
the lumen, as in seeds of the date palm-Phoenix
dactylifera.
21. Small amounts of soluble sugars are usually present.
These sugars are concentrated mainly in the growing parts
of the embryo i.e. shoot and root apices where
meristematic activities is highest.
22. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
Water content is often very low ranging between 5-20% on
a fresh weight basis compared to 80-90% of most plants in
an active state.
This largely accounts for the very low metabolic rate in
ungerminated seed.
Most of the water in dry seeds are firmly bound to colloides
and inaccessible for hydrolytic reactions (not unfreezable).
This is only removable by temperature approaching 1000C
or by storage in high vacuum.
Due to this dehydration, the cells and the subcellular
organelles in dry seeds are often shrunken.
23. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION...contd.
Seeds also contain growth promoters, such as
cytokinin, and auxin.
There is also the presence of growth inhibitors and
most of them are phenolic compounds.
OTHER COMPOUNDS:
Tannins: Used for tanning process as found in cocoa.
Tannins contain phenolic and hydroxyl compounds.
Alkaloids: Complex cyclic compounds containing N2.
