Germination acceleration

After a resorcinol peel, the superficial stratum corneum comes away from the germinative layer in the stratum granulosum. The basal layer shows increased mitosis and accelerated turnover. The total thickness of the epidermis therefore increases, to the detriment of the stratum corneum, and the skin appears more hydrated. 

Besides, under the influence of these compounds the going out of seeds from rest is accelerated during first 24 hours after soaking the rate of seed germination increases, and the growth of main root and new formation of lateral roots enhance.
