| Abstract: | Within the context of my analysis in this Inaugural Lecture, the home is the seed, that invariably contains the embryo, which is regarded as the occupant, that naturally transform into a miniature seedling.
A recipe is a set of conditions and parameters of an industrial process to obtain a given result. Agro-Revolution is the sudden or vast change in the pattern of practicing agriculture or a periodic agricultural change that occurs in a season over the year in a country. Throughout my academic sojourn in the field of Botany with a specialization in Plant physiology, I have been working on the Savanna and Forest tree seeds and seedling as a recipe for an aggressive agro-revolution in Nigeria. The audience here will agree with me that the mono-economy in Nigeria is solely around petroleum and this has been bastardised due to corruption and non-diversification to other sectors such as Agriculture; to achieve this, we need good |
| Description: | From the biblical perspective, the word ‘seed’ is associated with creating new life within a family. The seed of Abraham refers to all his descendants; hence the act of sowing a seed has a biblical meaning.
In the botanical sense, the seed is a matured ovule. A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering. Seed formation is part of the reproduction process in seed plants, and spermatophytes, including the gymnosperm and angiosperm plants. Seeds are the product of the ripened ovule, after fertilization by pollen and some growth within the mother plant. The embryo develops from the zygote and the seed coat from the integuments of the ovule. |
