Table 2.
Total number of consistent spots matched between the cotyledon and embryo axis during maturation (M6 to M9) and germination (G3 and to G5) stages. DP: differential protein spots during maturation and germination. NG: non-germinated acorns. The data are presented as the mean ± standard error of three replicates. Different letters indicate significantly difference with p < 0.05 (Tukey test).

| Embryo axis | 325.3 ± 0.53c | 382 ± 2bc | 422.6 ± 2.8b | 470 ± 1a | 385.3 ± 25b | 243 ± 53d | 388.3 ± 62b | 591 |
