Aim: To show Epigeal / Hypogeal Germination

Materials Required: Pot with soil, Bean or Gram seeds, water

Observations:-
                                                                             
Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a smaller seed (or "germ") into a larger, mature plant.
There are two types of germination depending on whether the cotyledons are lifted above ground or remain below ground: epigeal and hypogeal.

Epigeal Germination (Dicots) 
 In epigeal (epi=above) germination, the hypocotyl (hypocotyl is the stem below the cotyledons) pushes the cotyledons above ground. * The cotyledons function as leaves until the true leaves emerge.
* Example - bean, canola Draw diagram in the file

Hypogeal Germination (Dicot) 

 In hypogeal germination, the cotyledons remain below ground.
The epicotyl (stem above the cotyledons) grows and raises the plumule out of the soil.
Example – pea,gram
