Germination percentages of E. songoricum seeds tested in light/dark (12/12 h) at 25/10 °C for 30 days after continuous dry and continuous wet storage during exposure to the simulated sequence of natural temperatures. Different lowercase letters and uppercase letters indicate significant differences in germination percentages of seeds following dry and wet storage at different temperatures for 4 weeks and differences in germination percentages of seeds among dry and wet storage in same treatment temperature (Tukey’ HSD test, P < 0.05), respectively. The temperature (−20 °C) was not changed in months 4 and 5, and thus the data analysis were not analyzed.
