Linear regression equations for predicting the investigated parameters (y) from seed size (x, mm) of chickpea cultivars after 10 d of NaCl treatment
Characters | R2 | Regression equations |
Mean germination time | 0.292 | y=0.252+0.404x |
Germination index | 0.201 | y=40.469−2.481x |
Root length | 0.052 | y=13.229−0.809x |
Shoot length | 0.072 | y=6.971−0.603x |
Relationship between seed size and mean germination time, germination index, root and shoot lengths was significant (P<0.01)
