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
