Seed dormancy is the inability of a living seed to germinate under favorable conditions of temperature, moisture, and oxygen. Dormancy does not occur in all seeds, but typically occurs in plant species from temperate and colder habitats. This process allows for a delay in seed germination until environmental conditions are adequate for seedling survival. At least three types of seed dormancy are recognized: primary, secondary (induced), and enforced. Primary dormancy occurs during seed maturation, and the seed does not germinate readily upon being shed. Secondary and enforced dormancy occur after the seed is shed and may be caused by adverse environmental factors such as high or low temperature, absence of oxygen or light, low soil moisture, and presence of chemical inhibitors.

"I don't know of a single program in any other Midwestern state that is as quick and responsive as the Michigan Pre- Seed Capital Fund to the needs of entrepreneurs at the earliest stage. The Michigan Pre-Seed Capital Fund is a quick, efficient and, most importantly, responsive tool for Michigan's entrepreneurs."

Seed dispersal is seen most obviously in fruits; ... many seeds aid in their own dispersal. Some kinds of seeds are dispersed while still inside a fruit or cone, which later opens or disintegrates to release the seeds. Other seeds are expelled or released from the fruit prior to dispersal. For example, milkweeds produce a fruit type, known as a follicle,[5] that splits open along one side to release the seeds. Iris capsules split into three "valves" to release their seeds.[6]
