Relationship between imbibition and germination traits. The results are based on three sets of 10 inbred lines selected from a population of 500 for displaying either low, medium, or high swelling coefficients (k values). a The average time between sowing and radicle emergence for the low, medium, and high k sets. b The percentage of kernels that ultimately germinated (germination rate) for the low, medium, and high k sets. Pooling the results of all 30 genotypes showed how k correlated with c radicle emergence time and d germination rate, defined as the percentage of kernels that ultimately germinated
