In addition, POD and CAT activity were determined
as well because of their role in reducing hydrogen peroxide levels
in seed tissues. Among these four parameters, only Spd was
observed to have significantly correlatedwithMDA concentration
and POD activity with more than 70% R2. Total soluble sugar
concentration and total soluble protein are very important during
germination from the view point of both economic and academic
interest, however, no distinctive regression relationship was
observed between them and PAs, indicating that, during seed
development, the changes of both total soluble sugar and total
soluble protein can not be indicated by PAs, whether there is any
reciprocity between them requires further studies. In addition
