Effect of seed priming with PEG and soil moisture stress on chlorophyll content in sorghum seedlings.^a

Numbers represent F-values at 0.05 probability level * Significant at 0.05 probability level aSeeds were primed with 20% (w/v) PEG 8000 at 18°C for 24 h. The unprimed and primed sorghum seeds were germinated under unstressed soil moisture environment (Unstressed control), drought, EM, 8 d drought stress followed by EM, and 8 d EM followed by drought stress, respectively. bAbbreviations: DAP, days after planting; EM, excessive soil moisture; LSD, least significant difference; PEG, polyethylene glycol; ST, seed treatment; SMT, soil moisture treatment Effect of seed priming with PEG and soil moisture stress on chlorophyll content in sorghum seedlings.a
