Influence of exudate from dormant Cervil seeds on growth of A. brassicicola and A. alternata. The antimicrobial activity of exudates was measured by nephelometry on A. brassicicola and A. alternata growth calibrated at 10³ CFU/mL. Data are expressed as the normalized growth ratio between the AUC with and without exudate. Points in the box plots correspond to three technical replicates per biological replicate (n). n = 3 for thermodormant Cervil and n = 1 for primary dormant Cervil. The dashed line corresponds to control growth without exudate. A star indicates a significant difference from control (t-test or Mann–Whitney test, α = 0.05). G (%), germination percentage was determined on 60 seeds
