Figure 8. Inhibitory effects of SCE on seed germination was alleviated by GA₃, NDGA, H₂O₂ and KNO₃.

Seeds were primed in double distilled water (Control), 50 μΜ GA₃, 50 μM NDGA, 20 mM H₂O₂ and 0.4% KNO₃ and were sowed in 0.3% SCE-supplemented half MS medium. The seed germination rate was recorded seven days after imbibition. Data shown are means ± SD (n = 3). Means with different letters are significantly different at P < 0.05 using Tukey’s HSD post hoc test.
