From: Metabolic signatures of germination triggered by kinetin in Medicago truncatula
(a) Experimental design. Metabolite composition was investigated in M. truncatula seeds imbibed with water (W) and 0.5 mM kinetin (Kin), respectively, collected at 2 h and 8 h of imbibition, and at the radicle protrusion stage (RD). (b) The phenological stage of radicle protrusion occurred faster in kinetin-treated seeds (KinRD) compared to control seeds imbibed with water (WRD). Kinetin-treated seeds were collected starting from the 25th hour from the beginning of imbibition whereas water-treated seeds were collected subsequently, starting from the 40th hours. Bar = 1 mm.
