Gravity affects seed germination by altering the placement of plant hormones which affect the direction the first root grows and the direction the shoot grows. Gravity pulls some hormones downward which cause roots to grow down while the shortage of that hormone plus the presence of other hormones cause the shoot to grow upward. It doe not matter which way the seed is planted, this will not have an effect of the developing seedling.
