Effect of Heat Treatment on Seed Germination

Seed germination studies, control set up of Moong/Rajma seeds without heat treatment and test set up with heat treatment being carried out by cubists to check which one will give better sprouting results.

Can we understand what is the role of heat treatment in seed sprouting/germination?

Meanwhile the observations shared by @Sonal of heat treated vs without heat treatment seeds germination are as follows,

Experimental setup of @Charvi with heat treated and without heat treated Rajma seeds at variable time durations for 5 days and then put for germination.

Lets understand role of heat on seed germination. There are some studies which say the heat weakens the sead coat and helps in germination faster. Lets confirm this from observations of our sample seeds.
