  1. EC-27 h electrical conductivity at 27 h of soaking, EC-boiled electrical conductivity of fully boilled samples, #REC (relative EC) of NPB-6M-HP was calculated by adding 42.825 to 122.66, EC-priming the EC of water in the germination box at the end of seed priming, EC-blank the same as EC-priming but no seed was in the box. Unit for EC: μS/cm.
  2. *: EC-priming was significantly higher than EC-blank (P < 0.01).
