GP_a2: germination percentage after two days, GP_a3: germination percentage after three days, MGT_a3: mean germination time after three days, GR_a3: germination rate after three days, Sl_a6: shoot length after six days, and RL_a6: root length after six days. Different letters indicate a significant difference between the values of pairs of accessions within columns (Duncan’s multiple comparison test, 𝑃≤0.01).
