  1. Numbers followed by different letters in each line indicate significantly differences at α = 0.05 based on ANOVA test.
  2. RS: Rapid growth stage of foliage, RSS: Root and sugar growth stage, and SAS: Sugar accumulation stage.
  3. The statistical significance is denoted by *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01; ***P ≤ 0.001, and NS, not significant.
