Effects of soaking treatments on polyamine genes expressions and contents in sweet corn seed embryos. Relative mRNA abundances of ZmADC1 (a), ZmODC (b), ZmSPDS (c), ZmSAMDC2 (d), ZmSPMS (e) and changes of Put (f), Spd (g) and Spm (h) concentrations in sweet corn seed embryos. Control, seeds soaking with distilled water; Spd, seeds soaking with spermidine; CHA, seeds soaking with cyclohexylamine; DS, the seed embryos isolated from dry seeds (before soaking treatment); Put, putrescine; Spd, spermidine; Spm, spermine. Results are representative of three independent experiments. Different small letter(s) on the top of the bars indicate significant differences (p < 0.05, Tukey’s HSD) among treatments. Error bars denote SE (n = 3) of biological replicates within an experiment
