Notes: RGP: relative germination potential; RGR: relative germination rate; RGI: relative germination index; RVI: relative vigor index; RSL: relative shoot length; RRL: relative root length; RSFW: relative shoot fresh weight; RRFW: relative root fresh weight; RSDW: relative shoot dry weight; RRDW: relative root dry weight. A relative value greater than 1 or less than 1 indicates that the trait is higher or lower than in the control. Different letters within a column indicate significant differences at p < 0.05.
