Description
Yun Meng and co-authors published a review in 2025 on how a seed becomes a seedling. A young plant must push up through soil, meet light, and turn green. The review looks at how light and the push of soil work on each other during that change. Deep sowing in rice and maize gets close attention.
Inside, the authors sum up what is known about the signals that guide each stage. As a shoot rises, light grows stronger and soil force falls, so the plant must shift its growth to match. Readers gain a clear map of this early stage and ideas for breeding crops that start well.
