From: Timing for antioxidant-priming against rice seed ageing: optimal only in non-resistant stage
Effects of the duration of room-termperature storage on the seed survival curves under artificial accelerated ageing. NPB-6M, -11M and -17M represented the rice (Nipponbare) seeds stored under room temperature for 6 months, 11 months, and 17 months, respectively. Deterioration curves of germination percentage (GP, a), germination power (GP4d, b), germination index (GI, c) and vigor index (VI, d) were for the 3 NPB samples. Dashlines (between larger plots) highlighted the timespan difference to deteriorate to similar viabilities, marking GP = 75%, 62.5% and 50%. Standard error was labeled by bar.
