“EMBRYOGENESIS in higher plants, therefore, serves (i) to specify meristems and the shoot-root body pattern, (ii) to differentiate the primary plant tissue types, (iii) to generate a specialized storage organ essential for seed germination and seedling development, and (iv) to enable the sporophyte to lie dormant until conditions are favorable for postembryonic development.”
