Correlation coefficients between germination percentage and oxidative parameters in pomegranate seeds during warm + cold stratification (below diagonal line) and cold stratification (above diagonal line). GP, germination percentage; PC, protein carbonylation; CAT, catalase; Pro, proline. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01.
