Metal Print : Germination of a maize seed, Zea mays
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Germination of a maize seed, Zea mays
Macrophotograph of the early stages in the germination of a maize seed, Zea mays. Known popularly as corn, it is a monocotyledonous plant, possessing only one seed leaf. The radicle, later to become the root, breaks through the testa (seed coat) & grows downward into the soil as the first event of germination. A fine fuzz of root hairs are visible over the upper area of the root. The growing tip of the root is coated in a semi-fluid slime, a lubricant produced by cells in the region to ease passage through the soil. The shoot containing the young leaves has recently emerged

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing germination process of a maize seed, scientifically known as Zea mays. Commonly referred to as corn, this monocotyledonous plant possesses only one seed leaf. The macrophotograph captures the early stages of germination, where the radicle - soon to become the root - triumphantly breaks through the testa or seed coat and begins its downward growth into the soil. A closer look reveals a delicate fuzz of root hairs adorning the upper area of the root, adding an ethereal touch to this natural spectacle. Interestingly, cells in this region produce a semi-fluid slime that coats the growing tip of the root. This slimy substance acts as a lubricant facilitating smooth passage through soil particles. Simultaneously, emerging from beneath is a shoot containing young leaves that have recently emerged into daylight. The juxtaposition between these two vital structures beautifully illustrates nature's intricate design for plant reproduction. As we marvel at this botanical wonder captured by Science Photo Library, let us appreciate how every part plays a crucial role in ensuring successful germination and growth for plants like corn (maize).
