Effects of soaking treatments on GA3 and ABA contents and metabolism related genes expressions in sweet corn seed embryos. Changes in gibberellin (a, GA3) concentration, abscisic acid (e, ABA) concentration and relative mRNA abundances of ZmGA3ox1 (b), ZmGA20ox4 (c), ZmGA2ox (d), ZmNCED1 (f), ZmZEP (g) and ZmAAO (H) in seed embryos. Control, soaking with distilled water; Spd, soaking with spermidine; CHA, soaking with cyclohexylamine; DS, the seed embryos isolated from dry seeds (before soaking treatment). Results are representative of three independent experiments. Error bars denote SE (n = 3) of biological replicates within an experiment. Different small letter (s) on the top of the bars indicate significant difference (p < 0.05, Tukey’s HSD) among treatments
