Effects of KAR1 or GA3 in the absence or presence of AsA or GSH on the germination of A. fatua caryopses at 20 °C for 2 or 5 days
| Compound | Germination (%) | |
|---|---|---|
| Time (days) | ||
| 2 | 5 | |
| H2O | 4.0 ± 0.0a | 9.3 ± 2.3a |
| KAR1, 3 × 10−9 M | 57.3 ± 4.6d | 92.0 ± 4.0f |
| GA3, 10−5 M | 78.7 ± 2.3e | 97.3 ± 2.3f |
| AsA, 10−3 M | 6.7 ± 4.6a | 8.0 ± 4.0a |
| AsA+KAR1 | 45.3 ± 2.3c | 94.7 ± 2.3f |
| AsA+GA3 | 28.0 ± 6.9b | 96.0 ± 6.9f |
| GSH, 10−3 M | 4.0 ± 4.0a | 8.0 ± 4.0a |
| GSH+KAR1 | 30.7 ± 4.6b | 89.3 ± 4.6f |
| GSH+GA3 | 56.0 ± 6.9d | 93.3 ± 6.1f |
Two-way ANOVA with the Duncan’s post hoc test was used to identify significant differences. Means with different letters (a–e) are significantly different (P < 0.05, n = 3)
