Rocket seeds (Eruca sativa)
Rocket seeds (Eruca sativa) in a petri dish of water. Soaking improves the germination rate of some plant seeds. It is also used as a method to determine the vigour of seeds. When soaked in water, seeds exude electrolytes. Less vigorous seeds exude more electrolytes than vigorous seeds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beauty and intricacy of rocket seeds (Eruca sativa) in a petri dish of water. The process of soaking these seeds not only enhances their germination rate but also serves as a valuable method to assess seed vigor. As the seeds soak, they release electrolytes, which can be used to determine their vitality. Less vigorous seeds tend to exude higher levels of electrolytes compared to their more robust counterparts. The image showcases the structure and nature of these soaked rocket seeds, providing a glimpse into the world of botany and horticulture. It highlights the importance of understanding plant biology and reproduction for assisted growth techniques and multiple viability assessments. Through this photograph, we are reminded of the crucial role that soaking plays in preparing various plant parts for optimal growth. The biological process of germination is beautifully captured within this petri dish, showcasing how even small components like seeds hold immense potential for future flora. As part of Science Photo Library's collection, this print offers an insightful exploration into botanical science without delving into commercial applications. It invites us to appreciate both the aesthetic appeal and scientific significance found within nature's smallest creations – encapsulating the essence of seed biology through visual storytelling.
