Summary Introduction

To review:

The way in which the seeds and their dormancy help the plants to survive in extreme environmental conditions.

Introduction:

The seeds are produced as a result of fertilization of gametophytes after sexual reproduction in the plants. A seed consists of three generations within it, which are a diploid embryo, female gametophyte, and the seed coat. The seed is the structure of the plant, which is well protected and can remain dormant for many years owing to the unfavorable environmental conditions.
