The seed contains and disperses the embryo. Around the whole seed is a layer called the seed coat. This layer may be thick or thin, depending on the species, but it often contains light-sensitive chemicals.When conditions are right -- there is appropriate light and water -- the seed coat may trigger the germination of the seed.his layer may be thick or thin, depending on the species, but it often contains light-sensitive chemicals. When conditions are right -- there is appropriate light and water -- the seed coat may trigger the germination of the seed.
The seed coat develops from the material tissue, the integuments, originally surrounding the ovule. The seed coat in the mature seed can be a paper-thin layer (e.g. peanut) or something more substantial (e.g. thick and hard in honey locust and coconut), or fleshy as in the sarcotesta of pomegranate.
