Default Which end of seed goes into ground first?

Kinda dumb question, but with large seeds such as zucchinis, does it make a
difference which end goes in the ground first? I know the plant will correct
itself, but was wondering if it could be helped along by putting the 'right'
end in the ground.



Seeds respond to geotropism. The roots go down and the plant goes up
regardless of how you put the seeds in.
