What are the germination requirements for apple seeds?
410322
Apple seeds will not germinate unless they are held at cold temperatures for quite awhile - you can refrigerate them for a couple of days.\n\nThis is not true for all seeds. They all have different germination requirements - like, eucalyptus seeds require extreme heat like a forest fire to germinate.

1800 Apples\n\nLet Xn be the number of apples produced in each orchard.  You've been told that:\n\nX1 = 2*X2 = 3*X3 = 4*X4 = 5*X5 = 6*X6 = 7*X7+1\n   = 8*X8 = 9*X9+3 = 10*X10 = 11*X11-1 = 12*X12\n   = 13*X13 = 14*X14-6 = 15*X15\n\nIgnoring for a second all those values with minus and plus signs, X1 must be a multiple of 2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12 and 15.  The least common factor of those numbers is 120.  Now check 120 using the other terms (the ones with pluses and minuses).  It checks out, so each farmer contributes 120 apples and 120*15 = 1800

are you asking about DNA extraction or plant (apple tree) cross-breeding?

Germinate seeds on moist filter paper in petri dishes at 20 C. \nCollect root tips when they are about 1 cm long and pretreat with ice water for 24-48 h. \n Fix in Carnoy's I. \n Squash in 45 % acetic acid. \n Remove cover slips by the dry ice method and air dry. \n Drop fixative onto the preparations and flame dry. \n Dissolve 1 g of silver nitrate (AgNO3) in 1 ml of 0.02 g sodium citrate (C6H5Na3O7.2 H2O) per 500 ml distilled water, adjusted to pH 3.0 with formic acid. \n Add 1 or 2 drops of above solution (needs to be prepared fresh each time) onto the slides and place a cover slip over the preparation. \n Incubate slides in a moist chamber at 55-60 C for 30 min to several h. Monitor the silver precipitation under the microscope. \n When chromosomes are stained brown to yellow and Ag-NOR-bands appear black, staining is complete. Rinse slides thoroughly in distilled water. \n Soak in xylene and mount in Depex.

Yes, there are. They are called Phytohormones(plant hormones). Some promote seed dormancy. (Cytokinin, Gibberelins, etc,)

The flowers have many parts that are crucial to the formation of apples:\n\n• Sepals - five green, leaflike structures that make up a flower's calyx\n• Petals - the part of a flower that attracts insects by their color and scent\n• Stamens - the male reproductive part made up of an anther and filament\n• Anther - the part of the stamen that produces pollen\n• Filament - the stalk of the stamen\n• Pistil - female part of the flower, made up of a stigma, style, and an ovary\n• Stigma - the top of a flower's pistil\n• Style - the part of a pistil that connects the stigma and the ovary\n• Ovary - the rounded base of the pistil, inside of which are five compartments each containing two ovules, female reproductive cells that can become seeds

yes, apple seeds contain cyanide http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/apples.asp#add\nit contains amygdalin, which degrades into hydrogen cyanide\ni dont know about the rest\nsend it to the mythbusters or something

It would depend on the species of tree. Some seeds need things to happen to them before they can sprout, such as being buried for a while and then unearthed, or drying out and getting wet again, or passing through the digestive tract of a bird.

no, you needn't to do that.\nit is about 3 years you can eat your own apple from you raise it.

The apples fall vertically 3.0 meters downward. If t is the time it takes to fall, the following must be true.\n\n3 = (1/2)gt^2 = (0.5)(9.8)t^2\nt^2 = (3.0)/(0.5)(9.8) = .61\nt = .78 seconds\n\nIn this time, the apples must travel horizontally 2.0 meters to reach the basket. So they need to travel with an initial horizontal velocity of:\n\nv = (2.0 meters)/(0.78 seconds) = 2.56 meters/seconds

1.)  The simplest monocot leaf you can find is that of grass.  A blade of grass is a monocot leaf.  (Just make sure that the veins in the grass run parallel to each other, but I don't think that any grasses are dicots anyway.)\n\n2.) Regular bread mold is what you want.  Bread mold is the  fungus Rhizopus, just a side note.\n\n3.)  The root of any flowering plant will do for this one.  A potato is a prime example as it is the result of a swollen tuber, which is part of the root.\n\n4.) A fern, any kind of gymnosperm (pine trees and the sort), or any flowering plant will do for this one.\n\n5.)  Yogurt.\n\n6.) Grasses are monocots (subclass monocotyledonae).  So their seeds will do for this.    I just thought of another one.  Corn is a monocot.  The seed of corn are kernels.  A kernel of corn from a bag of microwave popcorn is a monocot seed that could be used for this part.\n\n7.) Upon fertilization of the flower of an apple tree the leaves first fall off and then the ovary begins to swell.  The fertilized ovules develop into seeds and then the ovary begins to swell further.  The apple (specifically the core of an apple) is a swollen and maturated ovary itself.  The apple contains the seed of an apple tree within the mature ovary, which is the apple itself.

May I suggest an apple...?

The trees have to be protected from a serious fungal infection called `Koleroga' or fruit rot and it can be prevented by using some eco-friendly strategies.It is spread by  the fungus Phytophthora palmivora.Remove and burn all fallen and infected nuts.Plant resistent varieties like Mangala, Sumangala, Sreemangala and Mohitnagar.Select sites with deep well drained soil without high water table. Provide adequate irrigation facilities.Sow selected seed nuts soon after harvest in nursery bed with stalk-end up and with a spacing of 5-6 cm. Cover the seed nuts with sand and irrigate daily.Transplant 90 day old sprouts having 2-3 leaves to the secondary nursery. Prepare secondary nursery beds of 150 cm width and of convenient length. Apply cattle manure @ 5 t/ha as basal dose. Transplant sprouts at a spacing of 30 x 30 cm. Provide shade by growing banana, Coccinia indica etc or by means of artificial pandal. Plant banana in advance at a spacing of 2.7 x 3.6 m when it is grown as a shade crop. Provide irrigation during hot and dry periods and drainage during monsoon. Periodical weeding and mulching are necessary.Spray Bordeaux mixture 1% on all bunches three times in a year, one just before the onset of southwest monsoon and the rest at 40 days intervals. If monsoon season is prolonged give a third spray. Use rosin soda adhesive to ensure tenacity of the spray deposit on treated substrate. Remove and burn all fallen and infected nuts.

Commercial processing of seeds is designed to ensure maximal germination, not to stop them germinating.\n\n\nThe simple fact is that not all seeds are viable, just as not all pregnacies result in children.\n\n\nFor various reasons seeds can fail. Sometimes that is because of genetic flaws within the seeds. Sometimes the seeds get infected with diseases or mites that eat them before they germinate.\n\n\nMostly seeds fail simply because theye weren't treated right. Sometimes the seeds are too old and have died. Sometimes they are buried too deep, or have been watered too much, or not watered enough, or let get to hot, or too cold or a million other environmental factors that prevent germination.

Try eating a banana.  You need Potassium dear apple blossom.
