Figure 4

Soybean seeds (cultivar NN99) were incubated under light (2430 lx) at 25 °C and treated with exogenous 10 μM ABA (a) and 10 μM GA (b). Equivalent ultrapure water was added as control (CK). Quantitative analysis of germination rates is shown in the right panels. The representative images (24 h after sowing) are shown (left panels). Fresh weight (c) and radicle length (d) of germinated seeds were measured under ABA treatment, GA treatment and CK. The average length and fresh weight of four repeats are shown. **Difference is significant at the 0.01 level, while *Difference is significant at the 0.05 level. Bar = 10 mm.
