Fig. 2. The effect of increasing NaCl concentration on median response time (T50) of Phaseolus species. Data shown as mean ± standard error of the mean of eight replicates, each replicate is the average of 14 seeds. ANOVA indicated that median germination response was influenced by species at 0 mM (F = 17.2, P 0.0001), 60 mM (F = 20.5, P 0.0001), 120 mM (F = 9.2, P 0.0018), and 180 mM (F = 23, P 0.0003) NaCl concentration. Exp. II.
