Fig. 2From: Dehiscence method: a seed-saving, quick and simple viability assessment in riceDeterioration curve for NPB14 (not overripe) and NPB16 (overripe). NPB14 deteriorated significantly slower than NPB16 in all three indexes: germination percentage (a); germination power (4-d germination percentage, b, left axis), and germination index (b, right axis). NPB14 had a period of 8 d without decline in all three indexes comparing to the initial state but NPB16 deteriorated much more rapidly at the very beginningBack to article page
