Seed germination rates in darkening and non-darkening cranberry beans. For both RILs, aged mature cranberry beans were sown on sterile agar plates and incubated at 25 °C under darkness for 9 d, as described under Methods. For each RIL in the experiment, the seed germination percentage was determined daily and represents the number of seeds exhibiting radicle emergence relative to the total number of seeds. Each datum represents the mean ± standard error of three separate experiments. The seed germination percentage data were analyzed for statistical differences with a one-way analysis of variance; within each day of the time course, means were compared with the Tukey’s test. Asterisks are used to indicate significant differences at p ≤ 0.05
