Fig. 1From: Ethylene signaling involves in seeds germination upon submergence and antioxidant response elicited confers submergence tolerance to rice seedlingsThe germination assay of rice seeds under submergence combined with inhibition of ethylene signaling conditions. Seeds were surface sterilized and placed on a wet filter paper under Nor, Sub, and Sub + AgNO3 for pretreatment for 2 days and subsequently placed under Nor in a growth chamber for the germination assay. Seed germination was observed for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days. a The germination rate of TK9 rice seeds. b The day of mean germination. The data represent the average values ± SD from 30 seedlings of each treatment obtained from three biologically independent experiments. The values with different letters are significantly different at P < 0.05, according to one-way ANOVA with post hoc Duncan’s testBack to article page
