Observe the structure of corn seeds

The structure of corn seeds is as follows:

The structure of maize seeds is complex, generally consisting of seed coat, cotyledon, endosperm, embryo leaf, hypocotyl and radicle, and each structure has different functions. The outermost layer is the seed coat, which is responsible for maintaining nutrition. Below the seed coat is endosperm, which can store nutrients. The green part of endosperm is cotyledons and embryo leaves, which are responsible for germination in soil, and the lower part is hypocotyl and radicle, which is responsible for rooting in soil. The six organizational structures are indispensable.

Six tissue structures of maize seeds

Corn usually looks good, and it can be propagated by sowing seeds. However, the structure of maize seeds is very complex, which generally consists of six tissues: seed coat, cotyledon, endosperm, embryo leaf, hypocotyl and radicle, and each tissue structure has different functions.

In fact, the outermost layer of corn seeds is the seed coat, which is responsible for maintaining the nutrients in the seeds. Before sowing, you can soak it in water and take it out. Under the seed epidermis is the endosperm, which can store the nutrients of corn seeds and make them germinate in the soil. Try not to hurt the endosperm when sowing.

Usually, there is a green part in the endosperm of corn seeds, with cotyledons and embryonic leaves at the top, which are responsible for germination in the soil, while the extremely huge parts at the bottom are hypocotyls and radicles of corn seeds, which are responsible for rooting in the soil. Never hurt these four corn structures every time you sow corn.

The six tissue structures of corn seeds are indispensable, but the seed coat can be removed when sowing at ordinary times, and then one end of cotyledon and embryo leaf can be sown upward into the soil, so that hypocotyl and radicle can take root in the soil and grow normally, otherwise it will be difficult to take root and sprout if sowing at will.
