Figure 2

Seed germination performance of two seed batches that represent the studied phenotypes. Doted lines indicate the germination dynamic of the control (untreated) seeds, while bold lines denote the primed seeds. In (a) seeds collected in 2015, (b) seeds collected in 2014 and stored for 3 years. The letters indicate differences found between primed and control seeds for germination initiation (letters near the x axis), time to 50% (letters at the middle of the sigmoid curves), and final germination (letters near the top end of the curve).
