Fig. 5. Electrical conductivity (A), standard germination test (B) and shoot to root ratio (C) of seed harvested at 550, 500, 400, and 320 g H₂O kg^-1 fw) and subjected to preconditioning (PC) drying times before fast drying. 35C = drying the ears the entire period at the PC conditions, NH = drying the ears the entire period with unheated air. Bars denote standard error of the mean.
