Detailed explanation-1: -Spritz the soil surface daily during germination. Use humidity domes to keep germinating seeds from drying out.

Detailed explanation-2: -seed development … form the seed coat (testa). The product is a structure in which the embryo is protected from temperature extremes by its state of desiccation and is often guarded from further drying and from mechanical or biological degradation by the seed coats.

Detailed explanation-3: -The seed coat’s function is simultaneously to protect the embryo and to transmit information regarding the external environment. An impenetrable seed coat may help to keep the embryo safe, but at the same time it would exclude the sensing of environmental cues.
