CH4-induced alleviation of seed germination inhibition caused by PEG stress was sensitive to PTIO and cPTIO. Mung bean seeds presoaked with solutions containing 1.3 mM CH4, 100 μM SNP, 100 μM old SNP, 500 μM PTIO, 500 μM cPTIO, alone or their combinations for 12 h, were then shifted to 20% PEG-6000 for another 48 h. Afterwards, germination rates were determined. Treatment with distilled water was regarded as control (Con). Data are means ± SE of three independent experiments with at least three replicates for each. Bars with different letters denote significant difference at P < 0.05 according to Duncan’s multiple range test
