FIGURE 3

Influence of various seed priming treatments and chilling stress on starch metabolism at 1, 3, 5, and 7 DAS in two cultivars. (A) total soluble sugars in HHZ, (B) total soluble sugars in YLY6, (C) α-amylase activity in HHZ, and (D) α-amylase activity in YLY6. Vertical bars above mean indicate standard error of six replicates. Mean value for each treatment with different lowercase letters indicate significant differences by the LSD-test (P < 0.05). NP + Cn: no priming and no stress, NP + CS: no priming and chilling stress, HP + CS: hydropriming and chilling stress, CaCl2 + CS: calcium chloride priming and chilling stress, H2O2 + CS: hydrogen peroxide priming and chilling stress. Se + CS: selenium priming and chilling stress, and SA + CS: salicylic acid priming and chilling stress, Cn: 28°C, CS: 18°C, HHZ: inbred cultivar huanghuazhan, YLY6: hybrid variety Yangliangyou-6.
