Evaluation of seed germination and seedling establishment between WJZ and Nip under H₂O and 300 mM NaCl conditions. a-b Quantification and statistical analysis of germination rate (a) and seedling percentage (b) of two-parent varieties from 36 h to 120 h under H₂O conditions. c-d Quantification of germination rate (c) and seedling percentage (d) of two-parent varieties from 1 to 14 d under 300 mM NaCl conditions. Each point represents the mean ± standard deviation. e Morphology of two varieties during seed germination after 3, 5, 7 and 9 d imbibition under 300 mM NaCl conditions. Scale bar = 1 cm
