Abstract
The process of seed-coat splitting, terminating germination, in red wheats is described. We show that sequential expansion of the coleorhiza and coleoptile is required for germinative growth to be normal. Normal emergence requires the seed-coats to be split by the expanding coleorhiza. We here describe a group of cells associated with the coleorhizal tip forming a papilla-like projection which could aid this process.
