Table 3.

Details of the linear correlations shown in Fig. 9, between each germination proportion and all associated RIN values, for species from the refrigerator and sealed can experiments. The correlation for pea used data from cotyledon tissue only, and the correlation for safflower excluded data from −12 °C
