Role of ethylene in the development of lotus seedlings. a Effect of ethylene on the rates of adventitious root formation in lotus seedlings at 0, 2, 4, and 6 d after ethephon treatment. b Stem growth at 0, 2, 4, and 6 d after ethephon treatment in lotus seedlings. c Determination of fresh weight in response to ethephon treatment at 0, 5, 15, and 25 d in lotus seedlings. d Change in dry weight of lotus seedlings after ethephon treatment for 0, 5, 15, and 25 d. Each experiment was carried out with three replicates, and the data represent means ± SEs for approximately 20 seedlings. “*” indicates values that are significantly different between samples (P < 0.05)
