Description
Seed industry has played a vital role in the availability of high quality seed of improved
crop varieties with attendant modern power equipment, improved fertilizers, and better
methods of insect and weed control. These altogether have revolutionized farming
1.1 Evolution of seed
The evolution of plants has resulted in increasing levels of complexity, from the earliest
algal mats, through bryophytes, lycopods, ferns to the complex gymnosperms and
angiosperms of today. While the groups which appeared earlier continue to thrive, especially
in the environments in which they evolved, each new grade of organisation has eventually
become more "successful" than its predecessors by most measures.
1. Evidence suggests that an algal scum formed on the land 1,200 million years ago
2. To thrive and to avoid extinction, plants have made mechanisms and evolved seed plant
during 200 million years ago
3. The latest major group of plants to evolve was the grasses, 40 million years ago
4. The grasses, as well as many other groups, evolved new mechanisms of metabolism to
survive the low CO2 and warm, dry conditions of the tropics over the last 10 million years.

Expanding Social Horizons: Socioemotional Development in Middle Childhood
Trending!
CHAPTER OVERVIEW AND CONNECTIONS TO OTHER CHAPTERS
Socialization is a major goal of all people and involves teaching children the values, mores, norms, and
roles of their culture. This task falls initially to the parents, which is why it is so important to focus on the
impact of parents on children’s socialization. This chapter examines the many socializing forces in a
child’s life, including family. The emphasis is on children of elementary school age, and covers
development from the years of approximately seven to twelve. In addition to the impact of family on
children’s development, this chapter also examines the role of divorce, remarriage, peers, and television
as sources of socialization. The authors emphasize the potent effects of parenting style by showing its
consequences for a child’s emotional and cognitive development, as well as its impact on peer
relationships. Also important are individual characteristics of children, as these often determine the
quality of parenting and the nature of peer interactions. Additionally, this chapter examines children’s
understanding of others in terms of their descriptions of others and the development of perspective-taking
and prejudice. The authors examine how socialization, parenting, and sibling relationships differ by ethnic
groups.
This chapter is closely related to the two preceding chapters. From Chapter 5, you can draw connections
between the development of empathy and positive peer relationships, attachment and parenting style, and
the social roles of gender and violence on TV; from Chapter 6, you can examine the impact of cognitive
development on changes in the complexity of peer relationships and the social networks of older children,
as well as the features of educational settings that enhance socialization.
