Round 7: Tossup 16

At the onset of this process, an oxidase in the aleurone layer creates GA3 and GA4, which trigger (15[1])alpha-amylase production. The degradation (15[1])of DELLA proteins following (15[1])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 occur (-5[1])prematurely. Structures (-5[1])in (*) dormancy do not undergo this process. Gibberellins promote (-5[1])this process, 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. (0[1])■END■ (10[1]0[1])

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