Total length (in cm), achieved by primary roots or shoots of L10 seedlings after kernel imbibition for 24, 48, or 72 h at 28°C. Data are means ± sd.
a
Significantly different according to two-tailed t test (P < 0.005). All other pairs are not significantly different (P = 0.05). Combined data from three experiments.
