Why seeds imbibe and swell after keeping in water? |
|
|
a) |
OP inside the seed is low |
|
b) |
OP of water is high |
|
c) |
Water potential gradient developes between the seed coat and water |
|
d) |
Diffusion pressure deficit of seed is very high |

(c) The imbibants have negative water potential. As a result when they come in contact with water, a steep water potential is established between the imbibant and imbibate |
