Sugar content in flower buds during the dormancy process in P. mume. (a) starch; (b) amylose; (c) total soluble sugar; (d) sucrose; (e) glucose. Values are means of three replicates ± SE. Data are means with three biological replicates each, with error bars representing standard error. Non-overlapping letters (a–d) indicate significant differences between different bud stages, based on analysis of variance and multiple range test procedures with a confidence level of 95%.
