Extract from notes: "SEED GERMINATION
- Seed absorbs water  embryo activated + produces gibberellins  stimulate production of enzymes (that break down food stores within the seed)  embryo uses food stores to produce ATP for building materials  grows and break through the seed coat

- Evidence suggests gibberellins switch on genes  code for amylases and proteases (enzymes required for germination)
- Evidence suggests that ABA acts as an antagonist to gibberellins  the relative levels of both hormones determine when a seed will germinate"
