1. In cereal grains, starch degradation mainly occurs in the ___________

 Seed coat

 Embryo

 Pericarp

 Endosperm

2. Reserve mobilization in seeds mainly occurs during ________

 Post-germination stage

 Pollination

 Seed maturation

 Dormancy

3. Physiological dormancy is regulated mainly by hormonal balance

 True

 False

4. Which statement best captures how seed priming and coating can be combined with genome-edited varieties to support climate-smart agriculture?

 Priming, coating, and genome editing can be integrated so that genetic traits and external enhancements work together under stress

 Coating alone can fully replace genetic improvement for all climate-related stresses

 Genome editing makes priming and coating unnecessary because genes solve all stress problems

 Priming should only be used on traditional varieties and never on edited ones

5. Dormancy always prevents germination permanently

 False

 True

6. The disruption of plasma membrane integrity during seed aging results in ________

 Inadequate solute regulation

 Improved solute exchange

 Reduced solute leakage

 Increased energy production

7. Cereal seeds primarily store energy in the form of lipids

 False

 True

8. Halopriming involves salt solutions during seed priming

 True

 False

9. Hormone group ____________ is the hormone group that primarily regulates enzyme synthesis for reserve mobilization in many seeds

 Ethylene

 Auxin

 Cytokinin

 Gibberellin

10. Primed seeds always have longer storage life than non-primed seeds

 True

 False
