Germination of DE3 and BY815 seeds. (a) Phenotypes of DE3 and BY815 seeds after incubation under germination conditions for 36 h (top panel) or 42 h (bottom panel). Three technical repeats were conducted, and representative images are shown. Scale bar = 2 cm. (b) Time-course analysis of germination in DE3 and BY815 seeds. Seeds were incubated under germination conditions for 24–60 h, and the number of germinated seeds was recorded as a percentage (%) of the total number of seeds tested. Significant differences were observed between the two samples at all time points during the 30–52 h period (P < 0.01). For each sample, 25 seeds were tested in one experiment. The data represent the means ± SDs (n = 3).
