Dry weights of seed components (seed coat, gametophyte, and embryo), germination vigor (peak value and days to 50% germination), and three seedling growth traits (total height, stem dry weight, and shoot dry weight) under regimes of low (5 ppm) and high (50 ppm) nitrogen were measured for 64 open-po...
