From: A loose endosperm structure of wheat seed produced under low nitrogen level promotes early germination by accelerating water uptake

Figure 2

Effects of endosperm structure of seeds on water uptake. (A) Transverse section and longitudinal section of N0 seeds and N240 seeds. (B) Protein content of N0 seeds and N240 seeds. (C) Scanning electron microscope maps enlarging 1000 × endosperm structure of N0 seeds and N240 seeds. (D) Water uptake of seeds. Error bars represent the standard deviation for three replicates. Asterisks denote a significant difference according to unpaired Student’s t test (*p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01).
