Most plants in the world spread their seeds by the wind and by bee pollination. But there are also quite a few seeds that are pedestrians. Seeds that stay on the ground and have to fend for themselves completely and start wandering to find a suitable place to germinate, and of course manage to do all this without being eaten - and they do it in a fascinating variety of ways.

How do they migrate? Does a seed have legs? How far does sperm travel? We talked about all these things, and more, with Prof. Rebecca Elbaum, the guest in this episode of HUJICAST.

Different seeds have developed wonderful mechanisms to meet the task. They protect themselves, move on the ground with great determination, react to changes in environmental conditions - light, moisture, soil, and even know how to dig when they have reached the right place.

According to Elbaum, despite all the research and knowledge, there is still more hidden than seen when it comes to the distribution mechanisms of pedestrian seeds.
