Figure 5.

Percentages of Col-0 seeds (treated or not with SA) that completed germination and developed fully expanded green cotyledons after 10 d under: 150 mm NaCl (A), 0.5 mm paraquat (B), and heat treatment (50°C). Approximately 100 seeds of each line were sowed and scored. Data are means ± sd of three independent experiments. Asterisks denote significant differences at P ≤ 0.05 between treated and nontreated seeds.
