Fig. 1From: Dehiscence method: a seed-saving, quick and simple viability assessment in riceGermination pattern of 6 low-vigorous but viable seeds without early radicle elongation. These seeds were from the control of NPB16 (GP ≥ 95%). Day 4 is probably for early germination counting which can be named germination power in germination analysis, and here the majority of seeds already germinated in 4 d. The 6 seeds which were prospective to germinate for their dehiscence, were picked out for photographingBack to article page
