DA-6 treatment increases the concentration of soluble sugars during imbibition by aged soybean seeds. Different types of soybean seeds (healthy seeds without CDT, CDT seeds with H₂O, and CDT seeds with DA-6 treatment) were employed. (A) Soluble sugar quantification analysis. (B) Fructose concentration quantification. (C) Sucrose concentration analysis. The average percentages of four repeats ±SE are shown. Asterisks (*) and (**) indicate a significant difference at P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively, by Student’s t-test analysis. A 200 μM concentration of exogenous DA-6 was used.
