Round 7: Tossup 16

At the onset of this process, an oxidase in the aleurone layer creates GA3 and GA4, (15[1])which trigger alpha-amylase production. The degradation of DELLA proteins following a bound GID1 receptor promotes this process. This process can be classified as epigeous if the hypocotyl drives a certain structure upward. The hormone abscisic acid ensures this process doesn’t (-5[1])occur prematurely. Structures in (*) dormancy do not undergo (10[1])this process. Gibberellins promote this process, (10[1])in which the breaking of a coat causes the development of the radicle into the root. For 10 points, named this process in which a plant seedling emerges from an embryo. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: plant germination [prompt on developing from a seed or embryo before mentioned; prompt on ending dormancy before “dormancy” is mentioned]
