**: significant at the 1% level; NS: no significant differences. Values followed by the same letter are not statistically significantly different. A: Presoaking duration; A: EMS application dose; a: EMS application dose × EMS exposure period interaction; a: EMS application dose × Presoaking duration; a: Three-way interaction which EMS application Dose × EMS exposure period × Presoaking duration. LSD dose = 0.4; LSD Duration= 0.4; LSD Presoaking = 0.4; LSD Dose×Duration=0.82; LSD Dose×Presoaking=0.82; LSD Duration×Presoaking=0.82; LSD Dose×EMSduration×Presoaking = 1.65; CV (%) = 54.5. CV, coefficient of variation; EMS, ethyl methanesulfonate; LSD, least significant difference.
