Seed germination and early plant development is a crucial phase of plants' life. Multiple internal and external stimuli influence germination progress and have a serious impact on a plant's survival and vitality. Biotic and abiotic stimuli trigger a whole range of changes, both on molecular and developmental levels, but the complex molecular mechanisms regulating these responses are far from being resolved. This thesis reviews the seed germination process and outlines the role of external stimuli in its progress. The experimental part describes the development of a method for seed germination monitoring, provides new insight into the role of hydrogen peroxide in germination, and analyzes effects of cadmium ions, temperature, salt and drought on proteome and metabolome of germinating seeds of Hordeum vulgare. In total, 2000 proteins and 800 metabolites were identified. The analyses revealed over 95 putative abiotic stress markers, including 63 and 36 proteins and metabolites, respectively
