Seeds are the unit of sexual reproduction of plants and have the function of multiplying and perpetuating the species to which they belong, being one of the most effective elements for this to spread in time and space. Gibberellins are directly involved in the control and promotion of seed germination; gibberellic acid (AG3) can break seed dormancy and replace the need for environmental stimuli such as light and temperature. Moringa oleifera, a tree belonging to the Moringaceae family, can grow in conditions of water scarcity, but its intensive cultivation, with irrigation and fertilization, increases biomass yields to over 100 tons per hectare. For millennia, practically all parts of Moringa oleifera have been used by man. The leaves, flowers, fruits and roots are prized for their nutritional value and can be used in both human and animal feed. The leaves are exceptionally rich in vitamins and different amino acids, so they are recommended to treat malnutrition problems in children.
