IAA delay soybean seed coat rupture and radicle protrusion. The imbibition seeds treated by IAA (1 μM) and H2O were investigated by stereomicroscope (Leica M165 C, Germany) with different time points (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 hour after sowing). (A) The representative photographs of seed coat rupture of IAA and H2O treatment soybean seeds during imbibition. (B) Length of radicle of germinated soybean seeds 48 hours after IAA treatment. (C) Fresh weight of germinated soybean seeds 48 hours after IAA treatment. Bar in panel A = 50 mm. The average percentages of four repeats ± standard error are shown. **Difference is significant at the 0.01 level.
