Effects of soaking treatments on polyamine metabolic enzymes activities in sweet corn seed embryos. Activities of arginine decarboxylase (a, ADC), ornithine decarboxylase (b, ODC), spermidine synthase (c, SPDS), S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (d, SAMDC), diamine oxidase (e, DAO) and polyamine oxidase (f, PAO) in sweet corn seed embryos during seed imbibition. 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). Results are representative of three independent experiments. Error bars denote SE (n = 3) of biological replicates within an experiment
