One hundred seeds were placed equidistantly on the germination paper presoaked in distilled water and covered with another presoaked paper towel, and rolled up along with polythene wrapping to prevent drying of towels. The rolled towels
were incubated for 14 days at 24 ± 1 C. After incubation, paper towels were unrolled and number of germinated seeds were
counted and represented in percentage.
