Figure 1.
The changes in the water uptake in rice seeds of two varieties during seed germination. (a,b) represent “Kasalath”, and (c,d) represent “Nipponbare”. (a,c) represent well-watered conditions, and (b,d) represent osmotic stress conditions during seed germination. The bars in (a–d) represent standard error (S.E.). Each germination phase of 1, 2, and 3 represents imbibition, plateau, and post-germination, respectively.
