Table 1.

Final germination percent and median germination time (t₅₀) of seeds during imbibition at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 °C. Final germination is the percentage of seeds in which the germination process reaches the end; while median germination time (t₅₀) is the time to reach 50% of final germination.

Temperature	Final Germination (%)	Median Germination Time t50 (Days)
10 °C	95.20 ± 5.21 a	5.50 ± 0.44 a
15 °C	96.00 ± 6.92 a	2.00 ± 0.15 b
20 °C	98.40 ± 2.19 a	1.32 ± 0.07 c
25 °C	88.80 ± 6.57 a	0.56 ± 0.19 d
30 °C	93.60 ± 5.36 a	0.30 ± 0.10 d
35 °C	88.80 ± 9.96 a	0.38 ± 0.22 d
40 °C	44.00 ± 11.66 b	ND
45 °C	11.20 ± 7.15 c	ND

Values are expressed as mean ± SD of five independent replicates. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis followed by a Dunn’s test multiple comparison test. The values that share the same letters did not present statistically significant differences.
