The seed coat is designed to allow a seed to survive in conditions that would have been intolerable to the adult plant. The seed is able to wait until suitable environmental conditions occur before germination (Sanford, 1963). In most cases, seeds can be germinated in moist substrate that is stored in dim light or even dark. The temperature can be 15-30℃.Germination rates can occur between 16 hours and up to 10 days in most cases (Sanford, 1963).
