Phs-A1 delays the rate of seed dormancy loss during after-ripening. The germination index of seeds harvested from Robigus, Alchemy and NILs with either the recombinant haplotype (NIL Group 2) or Alchemy haplotype (NIL Group 3) between barc170 and wmc420 in GI experiment-2. Seeds were tested at physiological maturity (PM), harvest maturity (HM; 7 d after PM), 14 and 28 d post-harvest (DPH) and germinated at 16 °C. Error bars represent standard error of the means (SEM) of three biological replications for each time point. Significant differences between NILs at P<0.05 (*) and P<0.001 (***) are indicated.
