In recalcitrant seeds seed coat removal has good results but in orthodox seeds testa removal have no much effect.

Amrit Lamichaney

I dont think so. Seed coat is a physical means of defense any alteration in it may make the embryo vulnerable to damages, fungal infection etc.

Adele Scott

The seed will eventually be sown in the field, so will need it's seed coat for protection as Armit says. In the laboratory, we can experiment, but if results can't be replicated in a field situation, then it's not much help.
