Table 2 Table of combined year mean accumulation of α-tocopherol (pmol mgDW−1) for each accession over the postharvest storage period and the reproductive growth phase of carrot. Experiment-wide LSD tests were computed between means for within each cultivar for postharvest storage and reproductive growth

From: Genetic and phenological variation of tocochromanol (vitamin E) content in wild (Daucus carota L. var. carota) and domesticated carrot (D. carota L. var. sativa)

  1. aIndicates significant difference across postharvest storage periods within accession from 0–6 months at p<0.05 based on experiment-wide LSD (0.01).
  2. bIndicates significant difference across reproductive growth phase within accession from harvest to seed set at p<0.05 based on experiment-wide LSD (0.01).
