let us know your results if you would.

Not enough seeds to experiment.

I do think that any experiment would have to control the moisture. It seems like you would need to use ethylene gas to keep the humidity down. Deriving it from fruit in the same container will probably ruin the seeds due to moisture. However it would also depend on the necessary time of exposure which none of us knows.... yet.

Of course the whole idea makes a big assumption that ethylene gas works for this use.
