Seed banks are meant to store varying species of plants and their seeds in an attempt to either save them from their habitat or to maintain biodiversity.

Aside from preservation, seed banks are also ways where researchers can access seeds for future development.

As of today, there are no news about seed banks in the philippines, however it is something that should be considered because the Philippines has one of the highest biodiversity

The inside of a seed contains:
Embryo - will develop into a fully fertilized plant
Endosperm - stored nutrients
Cotyledon - leaf-like structure that absorbs the nutrients and is responsible for elevation

While the proembryo undergoes division, it develops in a spherical shape known as the globular point. The globular stage is the first stage of the embryo proper. The heart stage is formed as cotyledons emerge from the embryo proper. Cotyledons are food preservation, absorption, and/or photosynthesis systems used in embryonic leaf life. While the cotyledons lengthen and now the embryo's base thickens, it then forms into a torpedo stage. Cell division is localized at the shoot apical meristem, which is located between the cotyledons at the shoot top, and the root apical meristem, which is located at the embryo's most basal (bottom) part. During the torpedo point, the majority of the suspensor deteriorates. The mature embryo is the product of the final stage of embryogenesis. The radicle is an embryonic root found in the mature embryo. At this stage, the embryo goes inactive, stopping metabolic activity and cell division. The seed is now able to be distributed. When the seed germinates and the embryo grows into a seedling, growth resumes (Ha et.al, 2021).

For the embryogenesis of the monocots it is the same as the Eudicots. Although in monocots it contains only one cotyledon and no heart stage. At this stage of evolution, the monocot's embryo becomes cylindrical. In monocots, the shoot apical meristem is present at the shoot tip but not between the cotyledons due to the single cotyledon it inhibits (Ha et.al., 2021)

For the apical-basal and radial axis it continues to develop as it undergoes cell division. Differentiation will still continue. In angiosperms, radial patterning occurs in the globular stage and leads to the formation of three tissue systems. The heart stage determines the axial pattern (shoot-root axis) (Sinauer Associates, 2000).

There are two types of seed dormancy, the seed coat dormancy and internal dormancy. Specifically these types may be divided according to its cause of dormancy. These are termed as innate, enforced, and induced dormancy. For innate dormancy, the state of seeds that will not germinate even if ideal conditions for seedling growth are provided. induced dormancy occurs when a seed has absorbed water but is placed in severely unfavorable germination conditions. Lastly, even under more favorable conditions, seed does not germinate (Byjus Classes, 2006). There are a few methods for breaking seed dormancy. An example of a plant is the patola. The patola undergo scarfication as the seeds are modified to germinate through the following methods use of hot water, mechanical, and the use of chemicals. The patola germinates more through the use of chemicals such as the vinegar used in the lab.

Seed germination inhibitors can be overcome in a variety of ways, including seed coat therapy, chemical treatment, and embryo treatment. Scarification, stratification, and high-temperature treatment are all methods of scarification.  Scarification softens the seed cover, allowing it to be; permeable to water; stratification is when seeds are held at a low temperature on a low moist layer; and high temperature treatment is when seeds are placed at a high temperature, but only for others. The mobilization of food supplies from the seed storage organs or endosperm occurs shortly after germination, supplying critical energy to sustain growth before the seedling becomes photoautotrophic (Ali and Elozeiri, 2017). While in Tropisims is where a plant inhibits the light from the sun with the help of auxins as it goes down through the shoot. And the shoot will then grow faster and it can bend through the light due to the amount of auxins it inhibits. While for the Roots it is not fond of light and is anchored to the soil as it is a negative gravitropism while for the shoot it is a positive gravitropism.
