Fig. 1. Electrolyte leakage in leaves of S. guianensis as affected by ABA under chilling condition. Each data point is the mean of four samples. Each sample was taken from one pot and measured three times. Different letters indicate statistical difference at P 0.05 level. A or B represents two separate experiments.

Fig. 2. Electrolyte leakage in leaves of water- and ABA-treated S. guianensis as affected by chilling. Each data point is the mean of three samples. Each sample was taken from 3 pots and measured three times. Vertical bars indicate LSD values (P = 0.05) for treatment comparisons at a given day. A or B represents two separate experiments. indicates the point of rewarming.
