Abstract
Discussions that may follow include addressing why breeders and farmers would not want light to regulate seed germination. Since every packet of seeds include the results of in-house germination assays, it can be pointed out that farmers want all of the seeds that they purchase to germinate. Since this clay coating prevents light from reaching the planted seeds, pelleted varieties of lettuce must not require light to induce germination.
