Effects of soaking treatments on ethylene content and metabolism related genes expressions in sweet corn seed embryos. Change in the ethylene (a) level and relative mRNA abundances of ZmACS (b) and ZmACO1 (c) 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
