^aLevels of various proteins were obtained from Image J analysis of data in Fig. 4 and 5.

^bLevels of each germination protein in wild-type spores from analysis of total spores or inner membrane fractions were set at 1.0. The first relative values (not in parentheses) are from total spores (Fig. 4), and the second values (values in parentheses) are from the inner membrane fraction (Fig. 5). Values are ±25%.
