Fig. 5. — Effect of cabbage and soybean seed storage at elevated partial pressure of oxygen on germination behaviour and seedling quality. Seeds were stored for 4 weeks at 5 % RH, either at ambient air conditions (open symbols) or in steel tanks with 18 MPa oxygen (closed symbols). (A) Effect on total germination for the most- (triangles) and the less-mature (squares) cabbage seed fractions. (B) Effect of storage conditions and period on the rate of germination (T₅₀) for the two cabbage seed fractions. (C) Effect of storage conditions and period on the speed of germination (T₅₀) for the soybean seeds (circles). (D) Seedling quality of control soybean seeds after 4 weeks of storage under ambient conditions (32 % RH, 20 °C and 0·1 MPa air). (E) Soybean seedling quality after 4 weeks storage at 18 MPa oxygen, 5 % RH and 20 °C. Error bars represent the standard error in the germination assay with three replicates of 50 (cabbage) or 25 (soybean) seeds.
